Memorial Day is Monday, May 31

Memorial Day commemorates the men and women who died while in the military service of their country, particularly those who died in battle or as a result of wounds sustained in battle. In other words, the purpose of Memorial Day is to memorialize the veterans who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country. In 1971, Memorial Day became a national holiday by an act of Congress; it is now celebrated annually on the last Monday in May.

The staff of the Mississippi Farmers Market wish you a safe and happy Memorial Day.

Stock up for the long holiday weekend this Saturday

Whether you are grilling, boiling, toasting, re-heating, baking, pretending pre-made desserts are your own, or offering the best salad bar in the state of Mississippi, you will find everything you'll need for your delicious holiday meals at the Mississippi Farmers Market. Don't forget flowers and plants to spruce up the house, beverage mixers and coffee for some thirst quenching, or fruit for smoothies, pies or salads. And, if you don't serve deviled eggs at a get-together in the south, well, it's really not advisable - let's just leave it at that! Yes, of course we have eggs!

Check out this Grilled Peach Salad with Chipotle-Raspberry Vinaigrette. Not only do we have peaches, we have some of the other ingredients including mixed greens, goat cheese, honey and garlic!.

Mississippi-Grown Peaches

Peaches are a member of the stone fruit family, along with cherries, nectarines, plums and apricots. Peaches are just downright delicious, but they also offer some unique health benefits: Peaches are good for digestion, they can boost your immune system and perk up your skin too. Peaches are helpful for blood pressure control and de-bloating. You'll find Mississippi-grown peaches Saturday at the Mississippi Farmers Market!

The Genuine MS Store Has Produce!

Monday through Friday, from 11:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m., you will find a limited assortment of produce at the Genuine MS Store. Simply choose from the produce offered outside the store and pay inside. Have lunch at the Cafe, and shop at the Genuine MS Store for items Crafted, Made, Raised and Grown right here in Mississippi.

We'd still like to see you on Saturday though - our doors are wide open!

This Thursday, May 27, is Eat More Fruits and Vegetables Day

How much fun is this? Eat More Fruits & Vegetables actually has its own day and we're observing it at the Mississippi Farmers Market! Since the Market is not open on Thursdays (we do sell some produce through the Genuine MS Store, however) we'll make an executive decision and extend the celebration through Saturday!

Delightful Photo of the Week

Have you ever seen tomatoes growing from the sky? It's the new way in Mississippi. Not really. These are greenhouse-grown tomatoes. They look like they will be delicious! And we'll have some soon at the MFM.
