"YYAAAAAAYYYYY"........Not
The best part about the farmers market is seeing the Boyd clan calling people Jezabells. They are always there with their clan.
@9:53 AM
Do you paint your face as if you were the whore of Babylon?
If you don’t want to be called a clap-having Jezabel, then don’t emulate her.
@ 10:06 Wow I'm giggling
The mkt. is a great way to spend a Sat. morning. Take the kids.
I have a booth there each Sat. and havw never heard of the Boyds
The best way to ensure that a Mississippi event will turn into a disaster, is to offer FREE STUFF - particularly free edible stuff - especially free SUGARY STUFF. Free Fire Ant poison, MAYBE....
The people who'd actually pay money for produce, will not want to encounter the people who've come for the free stuff.
Oh, and the name is spelled JEZEBEL. You hellbound heathen spawns-o'-Satan need to READ YOUR BIBLES! If you'd read your Bibles (or watched enough Bette Davis movies), you'd know how to spell Jezebel.
I thought the point of the Farmer's market was to sell locally grown produce, produced in Mississippi. Where are bananas, lemons and avacado grown in MS?
Jezabell is the kinda girl i always wanted. I never fell for the sweet and innocent types. I liked a bad girl who knows what she wants and knows how to get it.
Wow I can go here and Picklefest on the same day!
If you arrive at 8:00 am you will miss all the "free stuff" folks that will ruin the day. Boiling water works great on ant hills. Just jab a stick down into the mound then pour.
If the want people to attend the Farmers' Market, move it to Rankin or Madison County.
I miss the old farmer's market. Why did it have to move?

Madison has a farmer's market. Year-before-last, a young couple was selling CHANTERELLES (picked that morning, by themselves). One family was bringing their amazing array of peppers and eggplants, in every color and flavor. They were planning to expand their range of peppers, for the 2020 season, although it looked like they were already growing every known variety. A retired professor was selling a zany array of heirloom perennials. We bought a banana cultivar from him, which is proven to "make", even here in Mississippi (and, bonus, there was an Elephant Ear pup in the container, too).
We tried to go again, at the end of last year, but had to leave because of the music. I'm sure that if one is a Hippie over the age of 75 - living in an abandoned trailer out in the woods of Northern Madison County, then one would find the choice of music to be just perfect. We tried again, last Tuesday. The music is back - LIVE (and still perfect for Bluejean-Pantsuit-clad "Medical" Marijuana Recipient types).
11:13 A great judge of all-things farmer's mkt, people personalities, and music styles.
Apparently went ONCE 2 years ago, "Year-before-last", when he describes all the unbelievably awesome stuff brought out that morning... blah, blah, blah
But then... "We tried to go (once) again, AT THE END OF LAST YEAR, but had to leave because of the music." ...."Hippie over 75...trailer in the woods.. " blah, blah..
Then... ready for it... "We tried again, last Tuesday. The music is back - LIVE (and still perfect for Bluejean-Pantsuit-clad "Medical" Marijuana Recipient types)."
Bet this guy's the life of every party... Sucks the O2 right outta the place.

You should maybe lay off the ganja for a while, before you start analyzing other people's posts. And why do you make assumptions about gender(among other things, like frequency of visits)?
But truly, Sweetum, when you're rummaging through the 'Free Clothes' pile at the thrift store, you might want to resist the Bell-bottom Hip-hugger Denim-look Polyester Doubleknit Leisure Suits. I know you think they make you look "hip & with-it", and I'm sure they're a breeze to maintain (especially when one's "washing machine" is an old milk jug filled with rainwater that dripped off the low-hanging corner of the trailer). But trust me on this, OK?
And you should abstain from getting those string-wrapped platform espadrilles, from 1977, too. (Photos are being emailed-around, of a meth-addicted septuagenarian chick from out of town, in just such a getup, who TRIED a car heist in Madison, a while back. And it was fun to zoom-in on her amazing "threads"). The fact that Earth Wind & Fire is still alive, and performing somewhere in Mississippi, does NOT mean that, "The Seventies are BACK!".
Which brings us to THAT MUSIC. Honey, the stuff we heard being played and performed at the Farmer's Market, was lame when it was new. Now that it's old, it's even worse. They were playing crap I haven't heard since I was FIVE (and was hoping never to hear, again). I don't know the song names or the "artists", but googling "Worst Songs of the Sixties and Seventies" ought to pretty-much cover it.
It seemed obvious to all that you were either a birthing person or someone who identified as other than a male.
I only said "he" just for fun.
