Living in a state whose top industry is agriculture certainly has its benefits, such as plenty of places to eat where the freshest ingredients are used. And of course, this means the most delicious dishes … and desserts! Which is what you will find at the McArthur Farms Market – and the world’s best strawberry pie!
McArthur Farms is located in the town of Bennettsville, designated as South Carolina’s first “G.R.E.A.T. town,” with the acronym “G.R.E.A.T.” an abbreviation for Governor’s Rural Economic Achievement Trophy, due to the area having become one of the richest agricultural areas of the state.

Each season of the year brings a different harvest at the farm, and during the spring the star of the show is its famous super sweet strawberries. It’s even been affectionately suggested that perhaps sugar as fertilizer is the secret!
