Baines Farm and Market

Drivers on Route 13 in Machipongo have watched for two years as a red farm market building rose at the intersection of Bell Lane. Now, the Baines Farm Market is open and has moved from a former carport on the same property to its new 1,750-square-foot home. Opening the market was a dream for many years for Mr. Baines. The market draws heavily from his 26-acre farm, about three-fourths of which is planted with crops including strawberries, beans, sweet potatoes, melons, peppers, tomatoes and more.
