Support Local
We can’t emphasize enough the importance of supporting local small businesses. 30A is a special community filled with impressive, creative entrepreneurs and small businesses—and we want to do everything we can to help them thrive.
When you support local farmers and businesses, you help us maintain 30A's small-town charm. Buying local is great for the economy and better for the environment than purchasing from big-box retailers. It allows farmers to sustain their livelihoods and keeps money flowing in the community. Local farmers produce a wide variety of crops, encouraging biodiversity, and they often follow more sustainable farming methods than larger commercial farms!

Whether you’re planning to sear up some fish or want to make a nice greens salad, you’ll find all the ingredients you need and more at our local markets.

The market takes place rain or shine in the Seaside Amphitheater! In the summertime, it occurs bi-weekly, but past July, you’ll have one chance a week to visit the Seaside Farmers Market. After you stop in, head next door to Airstream Row, a collection of food trucks that operate out of vintage airstreams!
