Vardaman, celebrated as the Sweet Potato Capital of the World, blends small-town ease with deep agricultural heritage and a calendar of can’t-miss community traditions. Every fall, locals and visitors rally around sweet potato season, with growers and makers showcased by the statewide industry through the Mississippi Sweet Potato Council. Set amid the fields of Calhoun County, the town offers everyday conveniences, friendly streets, and gatherings that make it easy to put down roots.
Families appreciate the education options: Vardaman Elementary and Vardaman High serve students through the Calhoun County School District, with athletics, clubs, and career-minded programs supported locally and through the MSU Extension – Calhoun County. When you want fresh air beyond the back porch, you’re a short drive from the start of the Tanglefoot Trail in nearby Houston, a paved rail-trail ideal for biking and strolls. Day trips for shopping, arts, and dining are easy in Oxford, while regional services and additional employers are close by in Calhoun City. History lovers and scenic drivers can also explore the storied Natchez Trace Parkway, with multiple access points across North Mississippi.
Whether you’re drawn by Friday night lights, farm-to-table flavors, or a slower pace with quick connections to larger hubs, Vardaman offers a practical, welcoming place to call home. When you’re ready to move, upgrade, or sell, Agent Pronto can introduce you to a trusted real estate professional who knows the local market inside and out.
