Introduction: It's a place to shop. It's a place to gather. But more importantly, it's a rare change to experience the rich simplicity of a Mississippi small town. It is truly "A Fresh, Local Experience."
The Hernando Farmers Market brings together the best of local food, artistry and the agricultural traditions of the mid-south community. Located on the quaint historic Town Square and open each Saturday from Mid-April through the end of October, the open-air market features fresh, locally grown fruits and vegetables as well as fresh local milk, grass-fed beef and pork, cage-free eggs, local honey, canned/preserved items, and more. Local artisans selling unique handcrafted items can be found around the square, under the large shaded tree canopy. Stop by the outdoor cafe and enjoy a freshly brewed coffee and baked goods or free yoga class at sunrise. Throughout the season enjoy live music, food demonstrations, gardening tips, and special events that will take place during market hours. Families with young children can participate in our monthly Power of Produce (POP) program where children participate in lots of fun activities. The first 60 children receive POP bucks to purchase their favorite fruit or veggie to encourage eating healthy at an early age. Baby Day in August and Senior days offering line dancing, arthritis class, music, health assessments and more!
