About a year ago I wrote my post, 10 Reasons why I love Greenville and it’s one of my most popular pages so it’s led me to believe that maybe you’d like a 5 places I love in Farmville. And to address the question why only 5 well I haven’t lived here long enough for a 10 reasons. Anywhooooooo, let’s get back to the point.

My husband and I moved to Farmville four years ago and it was not entirely intentional. We weren’t dead set on moving here, the circumstances just posed a perfect place to be within distance of Raleigh.

So what makes small town living so amazing? It’s all about the people. When we moved here we didn’t know that many people however as I came to walk daily with my lil baby Tallulah at the time we slowly got to know the arts community, the library and all the fantastic small businesses that make Farmville so amazing!

1. Friends of Farmville on Facebook - Okay, yes this is a virtual place but we’re kinda living in a strange new virtual world with COVID still raging. I joined this FB group last year and it’s become a fun way to stay up to date with what’s happening AND more importantly to communicate with each other. We recently lost power and many of us logged on to aid each other with space heaters and warm food. Community is everything right now!

2. Cafe Madelaine - I don’t recall life before Coleen’s French cafe opened! Seriously, I love the space and vibe at Cafe Madelaine. Coleen and her crew create the yummiest sandwiches and pastries. Her croissants are divine and her wine selection is only growing! People travel for miles to eat at her cafe!

3. Farmville Community Arts Council - I may be biased as I’m a board member but our Arts Council unites our community with featured arts monthly with artists receptions and live events. We haven’t had a chance to, dang COVID however come time we can gather the Arts Council is the place to be when there are community events!

4. Farmville Library - Probably one of my favorite places to visit other than Cafe Madelaine, the staff at the library are super friendly! They have fantastic activities for kids online and offline, you can pick up a kit for your kid to use and learn. They host special events too, guest authors and artists and once they had a wine and chocolate tasting - let’s just say it was a good night!

5. Duck Rabbit Brewery - See, we’re legit, we have a brewery! Just kidding, seriously tho, it’s so awesome in the Spring & Summer when the brewery hosts a mini craft & food market with the Farmville Business’.

There are countless more places & reasons why I love Farmville and I’m sure I’ll create a second post. However for now, please enjoy these fabulous suggestions and try as much as possible to shop local. I can’t stress it enough, as ya’ll have read in my many previous posts.
