Hernando Farmers Market

The Hernando Farmers Market is located on the quaint historic Town Square and is open each Saturday from May through the end of October. The market features locally grown fruits and vegetables as well as fresh local milk, pork, pasture-raised eggs, local honey, canned and preserved items, nursery plants, baked goods, cut flowers, herbs, fresh salsa and guacamole, and homemade crafts. Throughout the season, enjoy live music, free fitness classes and special events that will take place during market hours. The Children's Day Power of Produce (POP) program held the last Saturday of each month and Senior Days are a monthly occurrence. As a Mississippi Certified Market, designated by the Department of Agriculture and Commerce, you can be assured of fresh local food and products. Credit cards and SNAP/EBT can be redeemed at the farmers market table for tokens to be used at vendor booths. Thanks to a grant from the Double Up Food Bucks Mississippi program SNAP recipients receive additional tokens (double) for free fruits and vegetables. How does Double Up Food Bucks work? For every $1 you spend on fruits and vegetables with SNAP benefits, you’ll get an additional $1 to spend on your produce purchase, up to $20 per transaction. Children's Day and POP Bucks: Children’s Day is the last Saturday of each month from 10AM-12PM on the front of the courthouse lawn. Free children’s activities are offered by local organizations and free books and POP Bucks to the first 100 children who arrive. POP Bucks are located at one of the organizations booths and kids must find which vendor has them. Each are valued at $5 for the child to purchase their favorite fruit or veggie to encourage eating healthy at an early age and to teach the value of a dollar. They are good with any of the produce vendors at the market. Thank you to our 2025 Children's Day sponsor Desoto Children's Clinic. Senior Day: Each second Saturday from May through October, the Hernando Farmers Market hosts a special event just for seniors. The first 100 guests aged 50 and older receive $5 in Farmers Market tokens to spend with participating vendors, making it the perfect opportunity to shop local and stretch your dollar.
