SUMMARY: Not all farmers’ markets are created equal and there are several factors that contribute to a good market. Location is important, with a central location near the urban center being ideal. Most markets are open on Saturday mornings, the busiest shopping time. Weather and season also play a role, as rainy or extreme weather affects attendance and produce availability. However, even during the off-season, markets offer handmade products like jams and jellies. Certified farmers markets, like those in Mississippi, ensure that vendors are growing or making what they sell. Farmers’ markets offer fresher produce than grocery stores, as they are harvested the night before or the morning of the market. A good practice is to ask vendors about the origin of their produce and to purchase items that are in season. Some vendors, like those at the Ocean Springs market, are able to grow hydroponically, allowing them to have produce out of season. Checking out smaller markets, such as the Wednesday afternoon market in Ocean Springs, can also yield unique finds.
