The subject property is the Orrville Farmers Market in Orrville, Dallas County, Alabama, together with an adjacent 30 X 50 office parcel. The main market building contains 5,129 square feet and dates to the 1850’s (now remodeled and maintained in above-average condition). This completely renovated, historic 1850’s building was revived 11 years ago into a thriving farmer’s market, restaurant and general store with two gift shops and a garden center. The separate office building contains an additional 360 square feet.
Located in the heart of Alabama’s Black Belt, on Highway 22-the corridor from Mobile to Selma/Montgomery, it thrived not only on local and commuter traffic, but as a result of its strategic marketing relationships, enjoyed customers from literally all over the world. Visitors and locals enjoyed the Market as a destination stop as they took in history, architecture and natural resources the area offers.

The General Store has plenty of space for extended sales: fresh fruits & vegetables, canned & dry goods, and is already equipped with several cold & freezer merchandisers for product sales. Gift shop areas are located within the main building and cottage next door with a garden center between the buildings. (perfect for an additional outdoor seating area).
