Great Reasons To Own Real Estate In Perrysburg – #1. The Farmer’s Market
June 12th, 2009 . by Jon ModeneThe houses are great.
But what else drives so many people to seek out Perrysburg?
The Farmer’s Market.
Each Thursday, the downtown main drag – Main Street or more properly Louisiana Ave. turns into a market.
Now, if you have ever been to Europe you know what a market day or a town market is. It is often the very center of life in that city or village. People from surrounding areas bring in produce and crafts and foods and other locally produced goods. Stalls and booths and other areas are set up and people from everywhere show up to buy and trade.
But that is Europe. We have gotten away from this sensible and down to earth activity.
Until recently.
For the past year or two the City/Chamber/et all have put together a smaller, more American version of the European Farmer’s Market (it’s more American becuase we drive to it in our cars and don’t close off the street – we are SO car-based in the USA!)
What do you find?
Flowers. Plants. Hormone-free meat. Crafts. Locally made cheeses.
Yesterday a local grower had brought in strawberries.
Fresh. Locally grown and harvested. Plump. Amazing tasting strawberries.
They seem to be an entirely different species than the hot-house grown, flown in from Chile, pasteurized strawberries that you can buy in a refrigerated case in a local supermarket year round.
Every time I go to the Perrysburg Farmer’s Market I meet and greet old friends and clients. I get to see some interesting dogs out walking their masters. And oh – the strawberries.
It’s a great new tradition in Perrysburg, and just one more reason to own real estate in Perrysburg.
