Stock the Heart of the House with Fresh, Local Goods and Let Mom Know You Appreciate Her...

Yes, the kitchen is the HEART of the house. It's where we join with loved ones over warm, delicious meals. It's where we congregate, celebrate, and build memories over foods that not only nourish our bodies but feed our souls. Meanwhile, you have to make sure your kitchen remains stocked with something fresh, meaning Mississippi grown or -raised. You and your family deserve fresh food from local farmers. Foods at the Mississippi Farmers Market travel on average about 62 miles. Now, how fresh is that!

Get Some Mississippi Artisan-Made Arts & Crafts for Mom This Mother's Day

It's one of the most original gifts you could get Mom. Flowers, candy, and money are nice, but nothing says "different" like arts and crafts made by hand right here in our state. Supporting local artisans and putting a big smile on Mom's face...after all, this really is the gift that keeps on giving!

Rubie's Daughters Handmade Creations will have an array of gift options for you to present to Mom on Sunday. Whether you want something sentimental or something for her everyday use, this booth will have something that Mom will love! Stop by to check out their Restore Tallow Skin Balm for healing calluses and sores and their copper swirl rings. Mom could use the balm on her hands before she slides on this beautiful ring! (See the connection we made there!) Whatever tickles Mom's fancy these days, these ladies can help you find something she'd like.

Maybe you want Mom to have something that shouts out "beautiful art" in the form of an original hand-painted window window. How original is this! Stop by the booth of Painted Windows by Vickie this Saturday to shop for window art that Mom will be fascinated by! It could serve well as indoor or outdoor decor.

Thank Mom. Support Mississippi artisans! How great is this!

How Are You Jammin' with Your Market-Bought Jam These Days?

The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines jam as "a food made by boiling fruit and sugar to a thick consistency." Did you realize that this is how jam is made?

People all over the world really enjoy how this savory addition to many desserts really excites their taste buds! We don't want you to miss out on the more interesting ways you can "jam" this spring with your jam pick-ups from the Mississippi Farmers Market. Choose your favorite jam (or jelly) flavor to make any of these desserts. A quick Google or Pinterest search will reveal recipe options that appeal most to you. (Yes, there are a ton!)

Maybe you can give Mom the gift of a personal, homemade dessert that she won't be able to stop bragging about this Mother's Day! (Don't forget Mother's Day is this Sunday, May 12!) Try these desserts with your jam or jelly this weekend:

Hazelnut Rosemary Jam Cookies
Shortbread Jam Tart
Mini Linzer Cookies
Pie Thumbprint Cookies
Peanut Butter and Jam Squares
Jammy Scones

You can pick up your jams and jellies this Saturday from Ellis Farms of Hazlehurst!
