The Legacy of Mitchell Farms in Collins
SUMMARY: Mitchell Farms in Collins, Mississippi, offers a glimpse into farm life reminiscent of our grandparents. Established in 1960, it transitioned from cotton and cattle to become a leading peanut producer in the 1970s, and now also grows corn, wheat, and soybeans. The farm became an agritourism hotspot in 2008, featuring a popular pumpkin patch and corn maze. Ranked as America’s best pumpkin patch by Trip Advisor, it hosts the annual Mississippi Peanut Festival, showcasing food vendors and crafts. Open year-round, visitors can enjoy various activities, including trailer rides and hay mazes. For more details, visit their website.

SUMMARY: Spring is here in Mississippi, prompting many to venture out on the state’s waterways. Before heading out, it’s crucial to review boater safety skills. Those born after June 30, 1980, must complete a state-accredited boater safety course, which covers vital topics like water safety and navigation rules. The Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks (MDWFP) offers the course online or in person, with various locations available year-round. Successful completion may also help reduce insurance premiums. For more information, contact MDWFP or check their website. Enjoy the beautiful weather, but prioritize safety on the water!
