Grab locally-grown produce, and get a glimpse of your future town…
There’s no better way to get to know a town than by spending a Saturday or Sunday morning at its farmers market. These aren’t just places to grab fresh tomatoes or sourdough (though you’ll find plenty of both)—they’re where the community comes together. You’ll see local families catching up over cold brew, kids racing between stalls, and residents chatting with farmers and food artisans like old friends. The farmers market is where a town’s personality is on full display: relaxed or bustling, rustic or polished, low-key or lively.
That’s why we always tell our clients—when you’re touring a town, stop by the market. It gives you a glimpse into the rhythm of everyday life, and the kind of community you might one day call home.
