[Northkeep] Weavers, Spiciers, and Bakers oh my.

[Jennifer Carlson]

Excellency,
 
Your comparisons were pretty much spot-on.  Of course, depending on the time period, a smithy might be located, rather than in town, by a source of running water in order to have a trip hammer running.  
 
There is an apothecary, the Apothecary Shoppe, and a small grocer, Jerusalem Market (though not a green-grocer, which would sell produce) just across Sheridan to the west, and another apothecary, Drug Warehouse, to the northwest.  
 
There is no tavern at the Farm anymore, but several cookshops - Mazzio's Pizza, Subway, Furr's Cafeteria, Billy Sim's BBQ, Margaret's German Restaurant and Deli, and Ron's Hamburgers.  You can get a beer at at least a few of them, so they could qualify as taverns.

You are right - the Farm Shopping Center is a pretty good analogy for the businesses one would find in a medieval town.
 
Talana
