As the biggest foodies (and even casual cooks) know, when it comes to produce, fresh is the way to go. And on the Grand Strand, there are plenty of regularly held farmers markets where visitors can pick up some of the freshest, straight-from-the-farm ingredients available — practically guaranteeing a delicious dish when mealtime rolls around.
