Saturday, May 14, marked the 15th anniversary of Pensacola’s Palafox Market, and Scenic 98 Coastal decided to check it out.

Will Mastin and Karl Brantley thought there must be a better option for buying fresh produce than what was available in big market stores. Together, they purchased property and equipment in Baldwin County and started Local Appetite Growers.

Gracie McTaggart first learned about bees and honey two years ago at a 4-H Club meeting in Fairhope. She learned how to harvest honey with her friend, Evan, and his father, Dr. Michael Pursley, a cardiologist from Fairhope who learned how to harvest honey from his father.

Tommy and Mike McKenzie are third-generation Baldwin County farmers working on property that’s been in the family for about 75 years.

This past Mother’s Day was perfect for a boat ride to one our favorite places, Magnolia River.

If you frequent Fairhope, you’ve probably seen Spencer Johnson out on Church Street teaching a beginner how to cast a fly rod. It certainly adds some local flavor to the town. Fairhope Fly Shop is tucked away behind what is now Willow + Gray Home, formerly The Church Mouse, at 14 Church Street.
