Family-owned farms in this small Indiana city
Plymouth is a small city of 10,000 people in Marshall County, Indiana. It’s best known for hosting the annual Marshall County Blueberry Festival, which attracts an estimated 500,000 attendees each Labor Day weekend for sporting events, live entertainment and lots of blueberry-flavored treats. The rest of the year, Plymouth is a simple farming community, attracting residents with its rural feel and small-town sense of community. “I live on 5-acres, and I love the country feel of everything,” says resident and Realtor Morgan Katzenberger. “You can drive anywhere in Plymouth and find a roadside egg stand or veggie stand. It’s an up-and-coming community, but we still know and appreciate our roots, support each other and support small businesses. There’s a lot of internal community support being from a smaller town.” In addition to the city's agricultural roots, today Plymouth is also known as a major manufacturer and distribution hub, thanks in part to its location near major interstates, railways and airlines. Seven major companies, including American Containers Inc. and Zentis North America, LLC, a food transport company, have their headquarters based in Plymouth, and the city is also less than 125 miles, or about a 2 hours' drive, from Indianapolis.

The best of both worlds for buyers in Plymouth
“In town, there’s a lot of housing options,” Katzenberger says. “There’s lots of new development happening, whether that’s subdivisions or apartment rentals. When it comes to country living and acreage, there’s a lot of farmland around here and rural areas, people living on 20-plus acres. It’s the best of both worlds.” Plymouth features ranch-style, farmhouse and New Traditional homes with a median price of $225,000, which is about $180,000 below the national median. “The values for homes are really good, but there are still a lot of options for first-time homebuyers too,” Katzenberger says.

Dining in downtown Plymouth
“Downtown Plymouth has a lot of classic character and charm with mostly original buildings,” Katzenberger says. “There are a lot of smaller family-owned businesses, like boutiques, floral stores, jewelry stores. It’s a good mix. There are a couple of staple restaurants that have been here for a while.” She recommends The Brass Rail, a cozy bar and grill serving steak and seafood options, and Mila’s Mini Market, a family-owned Mexican restaurant. “It’s really small, but man, their food is good,” she says. Opie’s Deli & Office offers a flexible space for patrons to enjoy a meal or get some work done. “We’ve even had real estate meetings in there,” Katzenberger says.

U.S. Route 30, Marshall County Public Transit and the Fort Wayne International Airport
Plymouth is located 68 miles northwest of Fort Wayne and 95 miles southeast of Chicago. U.S. Route 30 runs east to west through Plymouth and U.S. Route 31 runs north to south, just east of the city limits. The county does not offer widespread public transportation options, but the Marshall County Council on Aging does provide on-demand door to door bus service for destinations within two hours of the city including South Bend, Fort Wayne and Indianapolis. When traveling out of town, residents typically fly out of the Fort Wayne International Airport, 73 miles southeast.
Marshall County Blueberry Festival
Each Labor Day weekend, Plymouth hosts the Marshall County Blueberry Festival, a free four-day celebration of Marshall County’s agricultural history — in the late '60s Marshall County was responsible for one third of the state's blueberry production. Today, the festival combines sports competitions for kids and adults with an antique car show, a 5K and 15K, a parade and live performances. “It’s bigger and better every year,” Katzenberger says. She notes that visitors can try a variety of blueberry-flavored treats like pie, ice cream and cheesecake and that the festival raises funds for scholarships and local organizations. The star of the show is Blueberry Hank, a mascot designed by a Marshall County art teacher in the 1970s. “Kids love Hank,” Katzenberger says. “They do different scavenger hunts throughout the year where they hide him in different businesses, and kids try to find him.”
