The Simpsonville Farmers Market is an open-air market held on in-season Saturdays in the heart of downtown Simpsonville. Our vendors are local farmers and artisans, and unlike others in the area we plan and run our own market each year. We feature an array of products from the expected seasonal fruits and vegetables, to eggs and artisan cheeses, locally roasted coffee, eggs and meat, health and beauty care, and much more. What was a small affair in 2010 has now grown into a celebrated market known locally for its high quality and variety.
There is a lot to choose from, so make sure you bring your reusable shopping bags!
GREENVILLE, S.C. – Salt Monkey will celebrate its brand launch with a family-friendly, free, open to the public party on Saturday, August 12th at Holland Park, between Home Team BBQ Double Stamp Brewery, Flying Rabbit Adventures and Greektown Express.
Salt Monkey was created by former University of South Carolina basketball player, Hagen Rouse. The brand is geared toward individuals who thrive off being who they are, doing what they love, and enjoy breaking away. The creation of the logo Sammy “The Salt Monkey” is named after Hagen’s father and his love for the salt, sand and sea.
“We are so grateful to be able to have local partners like Confluence Outdoor, The Edwards Project, photographer Tim Kimzey and the help of Darryl Holland. Community is important to us and to launch a brand it takes a village,” says Rouse.
The launch party will feature live music from Hurt & Skip, MR & Friends, The Reedy River String Band, in addition to a Salt Monkey pop-up shop and yard games. Swag bags will be handed out to the first 100 guests.
A portion of the proceeds from this event’s pop-up shop will be donated to help the Swamp Rabbit Trail.
In-person and virtual contests will be held during the event. Participants can enter for a chance to win a paddle board from Confluence Outdoor or a free month-long membership to MADabolic, or Salt Monkey swag.
The Salt Monkey website will also launch the day of the Back to Summer Launch Party and merchandise will be available to purchase on the website saltmonkey.com.

When: 2-8 p.m. Saturday, August 12th
