One block off the main drag, you should definitely make sure this is on your itinerary. Local, reasonably priced art sold here. Locally sourced groceries and three places to eat lunch or breakfast round out your experience. Weekends you will find live music on the patio. A great place to rest for awhile with a beer or glass of wine.
The Windmill always has something going on nearly every day of the week. On weekends they have live music; from time to time, they have culinary classes, such as one I attended on everything related to crab. I think their best-kept secret is their breakfast: their menu is varied, and all their offerings are made from scratch in the kitchen. The little shops adjacent to the restaurant offer all kinds of locally-made goods, arts and crafts, and the produce at their market is also all from local sources.
I enjoy the local music, art, and food! This place has a great sense of community! It is a treat every visit!
We thought this was a flea market, it is not. There are some unique gift ideas here and the creation from recycled material are truly creative. Kudos to the artist. There are a number of small eatrys there. We ate we ate at a little sandwich shop, a little black man is the cook and he makes amazing sandwiches. The Boston pulled butt is very good and his barbeque sauce is some of the best I have ever tasted. The men in our party were not too pleased with their beer. The young man who was entertaining was really good and I really enjoyed his selections.
We loved this spot. After perusing the local art and locally-sourced groceries. We ordered fresh, delicious good and drinks from Sweet Olive and enjoyed it outside in the sunshine on the patio while enjoying the Sunday afternoon live, relaxing song-songwriter perform. Totally relaxing and enjoyable. A gem in Fairhope.
This is a wonderful experience, local producers with their items in the shops as well as live entertainment and several restaurant options under one roof! Mary Ann's Deli has a delicious sandwich called the Maiben......or the Cosmopolitan Salad trio is alway delicious..., an ALL GREEN facility the building alone is a lesson in Smart design and Earth Friendly ways of shopping from the Farmers Market, to the restaurants to the local crafts in the shops.
Mary Ann's+Sweet Olive's restaurants. Local produce. BBQ restaurant to open soon. Really nice helpfull staff.
Yum! Stop by the Frios stand for a creamy frozen Popsicle. I had sea salt caramel and kids had cookie & milk. Excellent alternative to ice cream.
Yummy food. Love the little stands. The shoppes are so cute. My cousins/family and I had a great time here in Fairhope. Even has clean restrooms!
Imaginative business idea. Little booths of crafts and forward thinking green businesses housed in one big amazing open air type building. Not your run of the "mill" place. The food was very good and simple. A nice afternoon diversion for the granola crowd. I bought a nice candle in one of the booths.
