Farming community near the Indian River

Grant-Valkaria is a small farming town bordering the Indian River in Grant, Florida. Residents here can enjoy kayaking and fishing at parks like Fisherman's Landing Park, and those with boats can park them directly at riverfront restaurants like Chubby Mullet Bar and Grill to enjoy fresh fish. Seafood lovers won't want to miss the Grant Seafood Festival every late February or early March. Homes here often sit on large plots of land that border farmland, which gives the community access to many local goods. "Residents can go down the street here and pick up fresh eggs from their neighbor," says Lauren Merrell, a Realtor with Dale Sorenson Real Estate and a resident of the area. "They can even run into a cow on the road," Merrell adds, after mentioning she had encountered a cow her first day in the area.

Riverfront restaurants, seafood specials and a tropical plant nursery

After a day on the water, locals can park their boats at the Sevastian Inlet Marina's dock to dine at the Chubby Mullet Bar and Grill. Diners can enjoy the seafood baskets with a side of slaw in the airconditioned inside or eat outside to watch the sunset on the Indian River. The Old Fish House Bar and Grill is another riverfront option, offering patrons happy hour specials and seafood options like conch fritters and fire-roasted mussels. The restaurant sources its food from local farmers and fishermen, or fishing enthusiasts can bring their own fresh catch for the chefs to cook. Those who want to stay home for the night can head to the local Publix to grab groceries for a home-cooked meal, and anyone wanting to spruce up their yard can go to the Valkaria Gardens to peruse through the nursery's wide selection of tropical plants and fruit trees.
