A new wave of creativity is coming to Freeport, anchored in both history and imagination. The Anchored in Freeport Art in Public Spaces Project is a collaborative initiative between the City of Freeport and the Cultural Arts Alliance of Walton County (CAA). Rooted in the city’s legacy as a historic port town, the project will feature a series of 4.5-foot concrete anchors, each uniquely transformed by local artists and displayed throughout the city.
Frost Lane Farms recently joined Wonderful Walton on a field trip to Tallahassee to visit the Red Hills Farm Alliance, a 20-year-old cooperative that has revolutionized the way local farmers connect with their communities.

If you’ve lived in Walton County long enough, you know our beaches are more than just pretty postcards — they are part of who we are. The right to walk, sit, fish, and celebrate life on the sand has long been understood as something we all share. That understanding, called customary use, has been at the heart of life along 30A and beyond.
