Frequently asked questions
What's in season right now in Mississippi?
It changes week to week — the "at peak now" strip above reads today's date, so it never goes stale. For the classics: strawberries peak mid-April through mid-May; sweet corn peak early June through late June; apples peak early August through late August.
When does the market season start in Mississippi?
It never quite stops — Mississippi carries harvests through the winter months, which is exactly when some of its best produce peaks.
Where can I go u-pick in Mississippi?
We chart timing, not farm listings — but the u-pick planner will tell you when any crop is worth the drive in Mississippi, and any search for "u-pick near me" works better once you know the week to aim for.
