Farmers Market ushers in new season
Dozens of vendors and hundreds of visitors were on hand throughout the morning for the opening of the 31st season of the Charles R. Hegwood Biloxi Farmers Market.
The year-round market, coordinated by the city’s Parks and Recreation Department, operates each Tuesday and Thursday from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m. in downtown Biloxi, on Howard Avenue at the I-110 overpass.
The Mississippi Department of Agriculture has said Biloxi’s farmers market is the oldest and one of the largest in the state. Vendors typically offer row after row of farm-fresh produce, plants, homemade baked goods, poultry and more.
