South Carolina’s Ag + Art Tour is one of the most unique ways to explore the state @Discover_SC #sponsored Did you know there are more than 20,000 farms in South Carolina covering over 4 million acres of land?! Agribusiness is our state’s top industry, so the annual Ag + Art event that takes place each spring is one you don’t want to miss! The South Carolina Ag + Art Tour is a free, self-guided tour of farms and markets that feature local artisans at every stop! With 16 counties participating in the 2026 tour, there are lots of dates and locations to choose from to experience this special tour. Regardless of which weekend(s) you go, the tour is a fun way to explore area farms and meet local artisans and vendors A few of my highlights from weekend one of the Ag + Art Tour in Chester County were visiting @cotton_hills_farm and @watsonfarmsbeef 🌽 🐄 . I also enjoy getting to meet our state’s young entrepreneurs at the different farm sites. It is so encouraging to see the next generation building their business skills and I loved meeting @jolies_cakery and @jaylyns_jewelry One really special weekend on this year’s tour is the Farms of the Brave weekend. Over Memorial Day weekend you’ll have the chance to visit South Carolina’s veteran-led farms! #DiscoverSC #DSCAlliance26 #agandarttour _________________________________ Hi! I’m Julie. Welcome to @scdaytrips  where I am on a mission to explore South Carolina and share it with you. I’ve visited all 46 counties, I am working on the 48 (and counting!) state parks, and I am experiencing 20 South Carolina sporting events! Follow along as I shop small, explore the local culture, get outdoors, and discover the history of South Carolina, the Palmetto State.

Waterfall Wednesday done right 💧 You don’t have to hike rugged mountain terrain to reach the beauty of Station Cove Falls. This stunning 60-foot cascade is just a short, scenic walk through a lush Appalachian cove forest — easy, peaceful and absolutely worth the trip. 🌿✨#DiscoverSC 📍Walhalla, South Carolina

There’s just something about a Frogmore Stew on Fripp Island that feels like summer done right. 🌴🦐🌽 The sound of the water, a table covered in shrimp, sausage, corn and potatoes, and everybody gathering around before it’s even finished dumping out. Around here, it’s more than a meal — it’s a Lowcountry tradition. If you’ve never had a true South Carolina Frogmore Stew by the coast, add it to your summer bucket list immediately. #DiscoverSC 🔗 in bio for the recipe!

Nature is showing off again 🌿✨ Every year, the Rocky Shoals Spider Lilies take over the shoals at Landsford Canal State Park—and it’s something you have to see to believe. 🤍 Home to the world’s largest population of these rare blooms 🥾 Just a 1.5-mile roundtrip hike on the Canal Trail to the overlook 🛶 Paddle in for a closer look (experienced kayakers recommended!) Pro tip: check the park’s “Lily Watch” updates before you go so you catch peak bloom 👀 Trust us…this is one of South Carolina’s most magical sights. 🔗 in bio for more details! 🪷 #DiscoverSC
