This weekend marks a brand new month at the Mississippi Farmers Market and the start of spring. There are more farmers at the market this month to ensure you will find the fresh, local items you are looking for. In the month of April, we celebrate Easter. One of the main symbols of the Easter holiday are eggs. We have fresh eggs at the market every weekend. Whether you are hunting them, dying them, or making deviled eggs, you can buy a fresh dozen any weekend this month. April also means spring festivities. There are beautiful flowers sold at the market by local vendors that will be sure to brighten up any table or make the perfect gift. The Genuine MS® Store is open Thursday-Saturday giving you an opportunity to shop local for things that you can fill an Easter basket with. Everything in the store is grown, raised, crafted, or made right here in our state. Come see us this weekend and start your April at the Mississippi Farmers Market.

Here is a recipe for egg pops shared by the Mississippi Egg Marketing Board that would be a great addition to an Easter menu.
