June 2, 2025You can’t throw an avocado around these parts without hitting a farmers market. Scattered like seashells from Dune Allen to Rosemary, these open-air markets are lively gatherings, where locals and visitors come to savor the real flavors of the coast.
Think sun-ripened produce, freshly caught Gulf seafood, grass-fed meats, and free-range eggs. There’s also plenty to sip and snack on: local coffee, small-batch sweets, gluten-free goodies, and maybe even a loaf of sourdough that changes your life a little.
So go ahead and fill your Oversee kitchen with wonderful finds. Or just enjoy a laid-back morning with a cold brew and a warm croissant, while mingling, discovering, tasting, and supporting the bakers and makers who call 30A home.
See you under the tents!
