Mt. Pleasant, Mississippi United Methodist Church started a community farmer’s market to support local businesses and their local fire department. Visit their Facebook page to know more!
Home-baked pies, fresh bread, honey, and local vegetables... ah, the farmer's market is my jam! You just can't get honest-to-goodness products anywhere else but from the people from your community that you know and love.
Head over to Mt. Pleasant Farmer's Market this Thursday. The zucchini bread is an absolute must!
They sell fresh produce, baked goods, canned goods, artisanal hand-cut products, novelty items, and many more. Since its opening in June 2022, the market has received significant support from residents and local businesses with at least 15-20 vendors selling their specialty wares weekly.

The farmer’s market provides you and the residents of Mt. Pleasant with a weekly event that helps support Mt. Pleasant United Methodist church missions and local businesses while strengthening community ties. It was also initiated to raise funds for the Mt. Pleasant Volunteer Fire Department.
Held at the “little Mt. Pleasant Square” located across the street from the United Methodist church every Thursday, you will be treated to a wide range of choice products including Mt. Pleasant resident Donald Coopwood’s organic shelled and bagged black-eyed peas and okra. Other area farmers, bakers, businesses, and residents offer fresh produce and various homemade products ranging from pies, bread, pickles, jams, jellies, and monkey butter. Novelty items such as cornhole boards and hand-crafted products are also available.
According to one of the event organizers, “Despite the dry summer heat, everyone is having fun and vendors are selling out at a steady rate; many expressing that they do better at this farmer’s market than at larger farmer’s market venues. I haven’t heard anything but good from the community since we started this.”
If you want to participate, you may rent a booth for only $10 weekly. There are no contracts or long-term commitments so you have the freedom to stop selling at any time. If you're just coming to shop, you are welcome to place your donations at the market donation booth.
The Mt. Pleasant Farmer’s Market is still open for vendor rentals and will continue to serve you every Thursday from 4 pm-8 pm until Thanksgiving Day.
According to a satisfied customer, “They sell out fast at the Mt. Pleasant Farmer’s Market! Sometimes, you have to place your order in advance for homemade pies, and specialty baked goods like banana nut and zucchini bread.”
Come by the farmer's market this Thursday and support your neighbors for a worthy cause! Bring your wallet and a big appetite!
