Ag Commish Andrew Gipson issued the following statement.
Commissioner of Agriculture and Commerce Andy Gipson reminds the public that the Mississippi Farmers Market on High Street will be open this Saturday, March 28, from 8:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m.
“I want to invite everyone to come out to the Mississippi Farmers Market each Saturday. The farmers market is essential and serves as a source of healthy, nutritious food for the community, and many shoppers depend on the local farmers for their weekly grocery needs. The vendors are taking precautions and following CDC recommendations. Some are offering pre-packed produce so fewer hands handle it. The produce, meat, eggs, dairy, and honey will be plentiful, and you won’t have to stand in long lines,” said Commissioner Gipson.
This week at the Mississippi Farmers Market shoppers can expect to find a variety of produce and herbs including carrots, cabbage, collard greens, garlic, ginger, cilantro, sunchokes, beets, turnip greens and roots, mustard greens, swiss chard, arugula, radishes, turmeric, mint, spinach, green onions, salad mix, lettuce, microgreens, kale, strawberries, parsley; a variety of beef, pork, and lamb cuts; dairy products such as milk and cheeses; honey, rice; tea; coffee; jams and jellies; breads and other baked goods; sauces and dressings; canned foods; flowers and plants; homemade soap; lip balms; and much more.
The Farmer’s Table restaurant, located inside the Mississippi Farmers Market, is open 7:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. Tuesday through Friday for take-out and delivery and Saturdays from 8:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m. for pickup.
The Mississippi Farmers Market is located at 929 High Street, adjacent to the State Fairgrounds. The Market is open Saturdays from 8:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m. For more information about the Market or to find out what’s fresh each week, call (601) 354-6573, go online to www.msfarmersmarket.com, or visit the Mississippi Farmers Market on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter.
Agriculture, farms and farmers markets are considered an “essential business or operation” under Mississippi Executive Order 1463 signed on March 24, 2020, by Governor Tate Reeves.

Trollfest '09
Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.
Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).
Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.
Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".
In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.
In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.
Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.
Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!
This is definitely a Beaver production.

Trollfest '07
Jackson Jambalaya is the home of Trollfest '07. Catch this great event which promises to leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Sonjay Poontang and his band headline the night with a special steel cage, no time limit "loser must leave town" bout between Alan Lange and "Big Cat"Donna Ladd following afterwards.

Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.
There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease. However, in the true spirit of Separate But Equal, Don Imus and someone from NE Jackson will also sit in the dunking booth for an equal amount of time. Tom Head will give a reading for two hours on why he can't figure out who the hell he is. Cliff Cargill will give lessons with his .80 caliber desert eagle, using Frank Melton photos as targets. Tackleberry will be on hand for an autograph session. KIM Waaaaaade will be passing out free titles and deeds to crackhouses formerly owned by The Wood Street Players.

COVID Tomato's 3 for $1
Will Commissioner “white hat” be there? He doesn’t even take his hat off inside. Wonder if he wears it to bed???!
This is idiocy. As long as numbers continue to rise, putting any substantial number of people together is asking for continued community spread.
Because we should shut down grocery stores and keep fresh produce from people? Sorry, but some risks have to be taken.
Want some real civil disorder? Turn off the food.
"This is idiocy. As long as numbers continue to rise, putting any substantial number of people together is asking for continued community spread. "
Stay home and eat sawdust, grumpy.
Want some real civil disorder? Turn off the food.
Want some real civil disorder? Close the liquor stores.
If you turn the food off, it won't be only a case of Jacktown thugs running amuck. The Rankin gold coasters will be back in the flesh, as well as the Madison militia.
Kingfish, some patriots have been hoping for the civil unrest for a long long time.
A couple good days and nights of purging would give society a chance to take out the trash.
A lot of traitors and parasites need to water the tree of liberty.
Why would KF approve a comment like 1:11? That is outrageous.
Civil disorder? Try civil war!
You can't find handgun ammo for sale at any retail store in the Metro.
@1:25
Maybe Kingfish is a fan of the Purge franchise. The first one was really good. The rest were.... meh.
God Bless the NEW Founding Fathers.
Civil Disorder....I rather take my chances making a quick dash during senior Shopping Times. Mask and Gloves Required even then.
1:25, that's pretty tame. Kim Wade openly says the same thing on the radio once a week.
it's just like any other store...
1. Feel sick? Have a slight temperature? Coughing? STAY HOME!
2. When in public dont touch your eyes, nose, mouth--just dont touch your head. Wash your hands (or sanitize) before you do so.
3. Try to maintain 6 feet away from someone else that's not in your household. If you can't, then at least don't touch them and hopefully they don't sneeze or cough within 6 feet of you. (sneezers and coughers shouldnt be out anyway..)
do that--no problem. problem is, not everyone is doing this..and so it spreads...
furthermore..you should never touch your head in public even when there's no COVID-19...its the easiest way to ingest someone else's germs...
12:22 It's open air. Way safer than going to Kroger with the masses.
I'm glad the market has opened. We went to Kroger early this morning, first time off our property for over 2 weeks. Few shoppers were there, many wore masks, a few also wore plastic gloves, most seemed respectful of social distancing. I wore both mask and gloves. No toilet paper but lots of fresh produce and a variety of meats. This is a good time for Mississippi to eat fresh vegetables and fruit instead of depending on fast food.
The farmer's market is not a damned 'grocery store' Kingfish. Get with the program and quite pandering to politicians. Grocery stores have been deemed essential. Trendy roadside pantries with squash, shiney melons and gassed tomatoes from South America are not essential grocery stores.
But, as you like to say...Nice Try.
I'll be there without a mask and will talk with anyone who approaches me. Can't be afraid of every little thing all the time. Death comes to all regardless of your intentions to avoid it. When it's time....
Hey Anonymous @6:35, you must not know anything about the Mississippi State Farmers Market, which requires all products to have a Mississippi nexus. Furthermore, you must not have even read the post because none of the produce you think will be sold there tomorrow is even listed. Those listed are actually produce that is seasonal to MISSISSIPPI. Support local, isn't that what you'd want people to do, not the "gassed tomatoes" at the local grocery store?
@6:35 - Fair warning - If you approach me and start spraying your spit in my direction, you will be Lysoled.
“White Hat” Gipson” just tweeted a photo from the market AND THE PEOPLE WERE NOT STANDING SIX FEET APART! Take a look at Gipson’s tweet!
