Seasonal fruits and vegetables vary from month to month—and now that September has arrived, different produce is prime for the picking. Pumpkins, apples, mushrooms, and more are officially in season right now! If you feel hungry just thinking about them, considering penciling in a trip to the Downtown Hattiesburg Farmers Market. They’re in town every Thursday from 3 to 6 p.m.
What is the Downtown Hattiesburg Farmers Market?
The Downtown Hattiesburg Farmers Market gives us a place to support local growers, artisans, vendors, and even musicians. There, you can listen to music as you shop or grab your pick-up orders.
Plus, buying from farmers markets means that you can find fresher produce at more affordable prices. Finally, purchasing items up from there will also allow us to give our local economy a boost, which can go a long way for many households this year.
The market also features a wide array of amazing goods. Some of the options you can keep an eye out for include:
- Locally grown fruits and vegetables;
- Flowers and plants;
- Handmade goods, like soap;
- Meats;
- Canned goods, jams, and jellies;
- Cheese;
- Honey;
- And more.
