Getting Ready for the Fall

Tuesday, September 22, 2020, was the first day of fall. The transition of this seasonal change and cooler temperatures means that we have some things to do to prepare. Check out these things you may have to do before we get deep into the fall season.

Grab fall clothes, outerwear, and blankets from storage. Make plans to visit your attic, basement, or storage unit to be prepared for cooler temps.
Stock up on firewood. Better earlier, than later!
Clean the chimney.
Gather soup recipes.
Make a plan to interact social distance-style with loved ones for the holidays.
Pick up some gifts and other items from the Genuine MS® pop-up store at the Mississippi Trade Mart during the Mississippi State Fair (October 7-18).
Soon, it will be time to cover up your outdoor air conditioning unit.
Place the rake in an accessible location. (Don't forget to save your favorite leaves. You can frame them!)
Check on your older relatives and help them get ready for the new season.
Plan a "virtual tailgate" this year by watching your favorite football games on a big screen or projector and having a small cookout in the yard!

Fall into the Market Every Saturday, 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Cooler temperatures are coming. The holiday season is approaching. It's still a great time to stop by the Market for something local and fresh! This Saturday (and every following Saturday), make your trip to the Market count by:

Arriving early.
Asking vendors when your favorite fall produce items will be available at the Market.
Shopping with your soup and chili ingredient list in hand.
Bringing your Senior and WIC program vouchers. The deadline to use these vouchers are October 31, 2020.
Asking questions and interacting with the vendors. They are definitely experts at what they grow and sell.
Placing your order in advance by contacting the participating vendors listed above and picking your items up at the Market.
Grabbing a bite to eat from The Farmer's Table, a restaurant conveniently located inside the Market that sometimes incorporates fresh ingredients from the Market into their meals.
Checking out all the vendors. There are some on both the east and the west sides of the Market.
Wearing your face mask and practicing physical distancing (6 feet is recommended) while shopping.

The Mississippi Farmers Market is open every Saturday from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.

As always, we look forward to seeing you Saturday!
