Support Local Farmers throughout Harbor Country

With the celebration of Memorial Day this coming weekend, it seems that summer is just around the corner! The warm weather months are a great time to live or vacation in Harbor Country as you’re able to fully experience all that the towns of New Buffalo, Sawyer, Grand Beach, Three Oaks, Union Pier, Harbert and Lakeside have to offer.

Whether you live in Harbor Country year round, or take time each summer to enjoy your vacation home along the Lake Michigan Shoreline; these unique communities become a part of you that you want to support in any way possible. One way to do just happens to be one of the perks of being in Harbor Country; local farmers markets!

These local markets have some of the best fruits and vegetables in this part of the country and are sure to be a mouthwatering taste of summer. While you find the most fresh strawberries, blueberries, cherries and much more; you’re also helping support our local farmers and the cycle continues to improve our communities.
