Local markets for seafood and produce, and Easton Farmers Market

Though the area is commercially sparse, there are a handful of small businesses, like Tuckahoe Seafood, which sells fresh-catch Maryland crabs. Residents can also stop at Mill Creek Farms along Route 50 to buy fresh produce, homemade pastries and hot prepared food. "There aren’t a lot of grocery stores there, but most people around town do their shopping in Easton, where there's a farmers market that's popular," says Brian Gearhart, a longtime Eastern Shore resident and Realtor with Benson & Mangold. Locals often make the nine-mile drive south to Easton to shop at supermarkets like Aldi, Giant and Harris Teeter, or browse retailers like Walmart and Lowe's. The Easton Farmers Market is open on Saturday mornings from April through December, where shoppers can listen to live music and buy produce, plants and preserves.

Folks commute to Easton, Cambridge or Annapolis

Because there is only one Maryland Transit Administration bus stop in Cordova, most residents rely on personal vehicles to get around. Easton is 9 miles south along Cordova Road and is home to the University of Maryland Shore Medical Center at Easton. "Most of the time, people are working in Easton or Cambridge," says Gearhart. "Some people commute across the Bay Bridge to get to Annapolis, on the Western Shore as we call it." Commuters can take the Chesapeake Bay Bridge to reach Annapolis, 40 miles away, which takes just under an hour, depending on traffic. Locals can also drive 55 miles to Salisbury for work, leisure, or to catch a flight from Salisbury Regional Airport.
