Annual Pumpkin Adventures at the Mississippi Ag Museum

Every year, the Mississippi Agriculture and Forestry Museum hosts its Pumpkin Adventure event on the Museum's grounds. Choose a date or two, and head on over to check out the fall fun they have in store for the whole family!

The Pumpkin Adventure 2020 will take place on: October 7-10, October 14-17, and October 21-24, 2020. This event includes a hayride around the grounds of the Museum, which will lead to drop everyone off for a milk-and-cookie snack. While you're there, you'll have the opportunity to explore Small Town, Mississippi, where you can visit the General Store and tour the Heritage Center Gallery.

On your way out, don't forget to stop by the Pumpkin Patch!

The Market is for Everyone

The Mississippi Farmers Market prides itself on being open to everyone who wants nothing less than fresh, locally grown produce and meat and animal products produced here in the great state of Mississippi. Every Saturday from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., our doors are open for our amazing vendors to serve you. As we are rolling into cooler months, don't forget to grab a light sweater or jacket and come out to see us.

Brilliant Idea: Make plans for Saturday, October 10, 2020, and Saturday, October 17, 2020, to be "double the fun" by visiting the Mississippi Farmers Market and the Mississippi State Fair in the same day! Besides, they are located right next to each other, and both are open on Saturday. So why not?

Meanwhile, don't forget to:

Bring your Senior and WIC program vouchers. (We have some vendors who accept them.) The deadline to use these vouchers is October 31, 2020.
Place your order in advance by contacting the participating vendors listed above and picking your items up at the Market.
Grab 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.
Check out all the vendors. There are usually some on both the east and the west sides of the Market.
Wear your face mask and practice physical distancing (6 feet is recommended) while shopping.
Dress comfortably for lots of walking around the Market and at the State Fair.
Stop by the new Genuine MS® pop-up store in the Mississippi Trade Mart to purchase even more made-in-Mississippi goods! You'll find all that you need for great Christmas gifts, from jewelry and flags to candles and leather goods. Don't forget to grab some Genuine MS® swag gear while you're there!
