Exciting News for Lafayette County: Farm Market Set to Open!

Get ready, Lafayette County! There’s a buzz in the air and it’s all about the brand-new Lafayette County Farm Market that’s gearing up to open its doors on June 5, 2025. Located at the popular Lafayette County Arena on F.D. Buddy East Parkway, this market is sure to become a cornerstone of our community.

What to Expect at the New Market

The Farm Market will operate every Thursday from 3 PM to 6 PM from June through September, bringing fresh produce directly to eager residents. Imagine strolling through the outdoor setting right in front of the arena, surrounded by vibrant colors and delightful aromas. It’s the perfect opportunity to pick up local produce, baked goods, and even some handmade products while supporting your local farmers.

Why This Market is Important

The creation of the Lafayette County Farm Market comes in response to a growing need for more local sales days. Many farmers face scheduling conflicts and miss the chance to showcase their hard work at existing markets. This initiative bridges that gap. No longer will you have to trek all the way to Memphis, Collierville, or Grenada for fresh produce. Instead, you can simply pop down to the arena and enjoy a community-focused shopping experience!

Supporting Local Farmers

The heart and soul of this market are the local farmers. The market will primarily feature their produce, which means you’ll be getting the freshest and most delicious selection around. If ever there’s a time when specific items, like juicy peaches or crunchy pecans, aren’t available locally, the market has already committed to sourcing these from nearby farmers to fill those gaps. It’s all about ensuring the community has access to a full range of products.

Unique Features and Accessibility

daily fee of $10 or opt for an annual rate of $100. This keeps it accessible for all local farmers wishing to sell their goods. Each vendor must also be certified, and farms will undergo inspections to guarantee that only locally grown products are sold. This gives you peace of mind knowing that you’re purchasing fresh and safe food.

Creating Community Connections

over 100 parking spaces available, residents can conveniently visit the market without worrying about getting stuck in traffic. The idea is to tap into the community’s energy and traffic patterns while expanding access to directly buying from farmers.
