Make This Summer Count

National Farmers Market Week: August 2-8, 2002 National Farmers Market Week is right around the corner. From August 2 to August 8, take a moment to reflect on how helpful farmers markets are. Think about their convenience and accessibility to fresh, locally-grown produce and locally-raised meat and dairy products. Every year, this special week reminds us how thankful we are for our farmers and the hard work they put in to help feed our local community. Although this year has been different in several ways, the Governor of Mississippi has mandated farmers markets throughout the state as an “essential business.” Needless to say, farmers markets contribute to the success of our local economy. Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program (FMNP) and Women, Infants, & Children (WIC) Benefits Accepted at the Market The Mississippi Department of Agriculture and Commerce administers the WIC and Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Programs. These programs provide benefits to low-income women, infants, and children and low-income senior citizens who are at nutritional risk by providing them with checks for purchasing fresh fruits and vegetables at farmers markets. In addition, these programs help raise awareness of farmers markets, increasing sales for local farmers.   Participants of these programs receive a one-time benefit of $25 in the form of booklets with $5 checks to purchase fresh fruits and vegetables from authorized farmers markets.  Participants have until the end of October to redeem the FMNP checks. We have vendors at the Mississippi Farmers Market who accept them, so please bring them with you on your next visit if you have them. Visit the Market Every Thursday & Saturday Don't forget that you have the option to pre-order some of your favorite Market items by contacting the participating vendors listed above. After placing your order, you may pick up your items from the Market during hours of operation. For everyone's safety, we still highly encourage shoppers to practice physical distancing (staying at least 6 feet apart). To take extra precautions, the Market is arranged in a way that allows vendors to face outward in their stalls. This helps keep everyone safer during the COVID-19 pandemic by placing everyone in an open-air environment where they can more easily navigate around others while practicing physical distancing. On Saturdays, be on the lookout for vendors on both sides of the Market —the east and the west. The Market is open on Thursdays (9 a.m. to 1 p.m.) and on Saturdays (8 a.m. to 1 p.m.). As always, we look forward to seeing you! Surviving the Mississippi Heat by Staying Hydrated Unless you just flew here from Mars, you know how unpleasantly hot Mississippi can get in the summer. This is why hydration is key. Say it with me...HY-DRA-TION. The good thing about hydration is that there are fun ways to go about it. You can drink water frequently and incorporate some delicious, water-rich produce into your diet to make sure you are staying hydrated. Check out these 19 water-rich foods, many of which you can find at the Mississippi Farmers Market. 19 Water-Rich Foods
