Hurricane Preparedness

We are in the middle of the Atlantic hurricane season. In fact, this Atlantic hurricane season is the first on record to have nine tropical storms formed before August 1. Dates for this hurricane season run from Mon, June 1, 2020, to Monday, Nov 30, 2020. With September being the peak month of Hurricane season, now is a great time to make storm preparedness plans to help keep you and your loved ones as safe and ready. Below are some helpful recommendations from the National Weather Service to help you be prepared.

Storm Preparation Tips

Eat Outside Day: August 31

Ready to take in the sweet Mississippi breeze as you eat meals that you created with your Mississippi Farmers Market finds? Well, what better day is there to do so than August 31, Eat Outside Day? Whether you want to have a BBQ, a picnic (on the ground or at the table), or a romantic candlelit dinner, eating outdoors is a relaxing way to spend time out of the house during the pandemic while avoiding exposure to COVID-19.

Eat a great meal. Get some fresh air. You deserve it.

Summer Vibes Still in Effect

Although this year has been a very interesting one, to say the least, summer vibes are still in effect. We must make the very best of the offerings this warm season provides. Of course, this includes fun trips to your Mississippi Farmers Market. As shoppers wear masks and other protective coverings and only touch items that they intend to purchase to help keep everyone safe as we all adjust to life during this pandemic, beneath those masks and other protective gear are smiling faces. We can see those friendly smiles in everyone's eyes! We are grateful for a considerate group of shoppers who are willing to practice physical distancing. Nothing says "I respect you" more than playing your little part in helping keep everyone safe as they shop and sell.

Whether you are picking up plums, zucchini, green tomatoes, banana peppers, sweet treats, or something else, the Market's agriculturists, roasters, and foodies are here to make you smile underneath your mask.

Remember: You are still able to place your order in advance by contacting the participating vendors listed above. After placing your order, you would simply pick up your items from the Market during normal hours of operation.

On Saturdays, be on the lookout for vendors on BOTH sides of the Market—the east and the west. You can stop by the Market on Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.

*The Market is no longer open on Thursdays.
