Olive to see you smile at our picnic. If you’re planning a picnic in one of our picturesque parks, please peruse no further. We put together a list of items to help you pack the perfect local picnic.
Stecca bread | Swamp Rabbit Cafe & Grocery
If you don’t know how we feel about Stecca bread yet, you’re not paying attention. This perfectly crispy bread would be a crowd favorite at any picnic.
Cheese | Happy Cow Creamery
Cheese made right here in the Upstate? Yes, please cheese. Choose from a wide variety + grab some jerky while you’re at it.
Meats | Grazeland Deli
Grazeland offers grab-and-go charcuterie, meaning you won’t have to spend too much time planning your picnic. Pro tip: You can also pick up a tasty sandwich or two.
Fruit | State Farmers Market
Filled to the brim with fresh, seasonal fruit, you can also pick up local cheese, dairy products, and fresh flowers here.
Snacks | Poppington’s Popcorn
Do you prefer sweet, savory, or both? Luckily, at Poppington’s, you can have it all. City Editor Stephanie highly recommends the dill pickle popcorn.
Juice | Kuka Juice
If you want something tasty to sip on that’s non-alcoholic, grab a freshly-pressed juice from Kuka Juice.
Games | Boardwalk
After you’ve finished dining, you’ll want something fun to do. Pick up a card or board game from this local game shop.
If you read this list and are thinking, “I want to go on a picnic right now, but I don’t have a picnic basket,” we thought of that too. Although something from Amazon isn’t exactly local, we couldn’t resist how cute this picnic kit was.
