In 2025, Poplar Grove’s main entrance is relocating to the building site at 101 Scotts Hill Loop Road, currently housing Grumpy Grandpa’s and Queen Esther Teas.
This new entrance building will be referred to as the Mercantile and will provide an opportunity for local growers and producers to sell their goods directly to consumers.
Formerly, the Farmers’ Market, the Mercantile at Poplar Grove will strive to promote local farmers & the use of local products, provide the local community with an opportunity to get to know their farmer, their baker, their artisan marker, and educate the public on the history of agriculture at Poplar Grove.
Please stay tuned for further information.
Within the Gullah Geechee Cultural Heritage Corridor, Poplar Grove is first and foremost a museum complex dedicated to education, preservation and conservation. We will create opportunities to:
1) reflect upon the historical practices of a self-sustaining farm through the history enslavement, tenant farming, legislation, technology, and the heritage arts
2) promote the values and traditions of local communities and cultural landscapes as it reflects past, present and future human activity
3) initiate meaningful dialogue that builds upon the values of respect, empathy, cultural diversity, multiple perspectives, and democratic principles
4) share the significance and spirit of place as a shared resource by preserving the natural habitat and architectural harmony indigenous to the lower Cape Fear region
