This guide covers everything you need to know — location, hours, what to expect, and how to get there.

What to Buy at the Natchez Farmers Market
Seasonal produce from Adams County and surrounding parishes is the main draw — tomatoes, sweet corn, okra, greens, sweet potatoes, and muscadine grapes depending on the season. Local bakers bring fresh bread, biscuits, and pastries. Honey, jams, hot sauces, and Mississippi-crafted goods round out the vendor mix. Several vendors accept SNAP/EBT benefits.
Local Vendors & Artisans
Beyond produce, the Natchez Farmers Market features local artisans selling handmade crafts, Mississippi-themed gifts, photography, and folk art. Food trucks sometimes park nearby on busy market days. The social atmosphere — neighbors catching up, dogs walking by, live music occasionally — is as much a draw as the goods themselves.
