Poplar Grove’s OPEN AIR MARKET provides an opportunity for local businesses to sell their goods directly to consumers by providing a green space for the community to get to know their farmer, their baker, their artisan marker as well as educate the public on the history of agriculture at Poplar Grove.
Market operates on Wednesday late Spring through early Fall from 9 a.m. – 1 p.m.
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
