There is always plenty of vegetables available for sale. I don't have a place to grow vegetables and it is wonderful to have the market there so that I can serve my family fresh vegetables and buy extras to freeze for next winter. Thanks Hitching Lot Farmers Market.

It's a wonderful place where local artists can display their creations. The selection of produce and canned goods are wonderful. There is music and crafts for children. The Farmer's Market is a wonderful place to meet old friends and make some new ones.

The Hitching Lot Farmers Market is a wonderful place to buy produce and arts and crafts while being entertained with music provided by local musicians.

Our Hitching Lot Farmers Market is fabulous, with fresh, just picked fruits and vegetables grown by our own local folks. Artisans in our community share creative talents through baked and canned goods, art, music, going green education, and other creative and gardening endeavors. The richness of this combination brings our people together as one community as we share comraderie with each other and the bounty produced by the labors of many creative hearts and productive hands. Everything about it is fun, fresh, inspiring, delicious, and a feast for the eyes and heart.

There are always wonderful fruits, vegetables, flowers, prepared foods , pottery, jewelry, crafts and friendly folks to offer suggestions for recipes and meal ideas. We also have folks playing their instruments and making beautiful music. The downtown atmosphere just adds to the friendliness and uniqueness of the market. We look forward to the market every week-end and knowing that we are getting fresh produce.

It's a great way to bring the community together, as well as a way to support local farmers and entrepreneurs of all ages.

Since I was a young girl. I can remember getting up around five in the morning with my mother and grandmother. We wanted to arrive early to meet the farmers who would be the selling fresh corn, purple hull peas. Then we would go home and can these fresh veggies. Its a special part of my child hood memorie.

We love all the fresh local produce, and the crafts, and the music, and just visiting with all the people!

Good vibes down at the hitching lot farmers market. Everyone is happy to be selling and buying great locally grown food and crafts.

The hitching lot not only brings in fresh foods that supports local farmers, but also adds a great bit of fun and fellowship to the community!

It's a fun way to support local artisans and growers, while affording me an opportunity to eat more healthfully, with fresh fruits and vegetables, at home.

Hitching Lot Farmers Market is a quaint market that has a lot of variety. I have always enjoyed going there, looking around, and purchasing gifts for my friends!

I love to eat! During the week when I peak in the fridge to nibble, the first things I grab are my organic produce from the Columbus Farmer's Market! All of the plants and Herbs I've purchased from the Market are Thriving, thanks to the advice & honesty of the vendors. But it's the community atmosphere that keeps it on my calender!

The farmers market in Columbus always has the best people with fresh produce. There is some organic candle makers with great stuff. Good coffee and its a great place on Saturday morning for us locals to get up early and meet with our neighbors. In a small town the farmers market is not only about food and farmers, its about community.

There is a special energy to this market which comes from commitment from so many people's enthusiasm and support. A good mix of seasoned and novice backyard growers. Knowing that everything found at The Hitching Lot Farmers' Market is locally grown assures customers that they're going home with their market baskets full of sweet goodness from neighborhood soil. A happy place that will put a smile on your face.

Excellent fresh produce, locally produced, extremely high quality. I stop by and take some home every chance I get. Best watermelons.

I love to support local vendors in my town...it is a way to show how unique our town is.

It has grown from nothing to something really special in only 2 years. It has helped bring our community together around the concept of supporting local producers.

This place is awesome! not only can you pick up the best veggies in town, you can sign up for recycling, see wonderful crafts and catch up with a good friend or two in the process!

I live in Chicago but visit family in Columbus MS and love going to the Hitching Lot Farmer's market on a Saturday morning. It's lively and friendly, has good locally grown food and entertainment (musicians, Mother Goose, activities for children).

Friendly people, fresh vegetables and unique items. Great place to shop. Healthy food!

Because it makes our town pop on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday--it's more than food--it's people meeting and saying "howdy"--it really has done much to bring our community together--and the arts has really exploded--there is music and pottery and crafts and singing--what better way to start your day!!! thanks for asking--Brenda Caradine

Fresh food, grown no further than 50 miles away, music and coffee. Add to that visiting with your friends and neighbors, cooking demonstrations and projects for kids--it's the best way to spend a Saturday morning!

Not just veggies, but awesome homemade items as well. Beautiful wooden spoons, flutes, candles, flowers, etc. Also love the people; they're always friendly and helpful.

seeing your friends and supporting local farmers who provide us with this great fresh produce.

Our area does not offer a lot of fresh fruit and vegetable stands, nor a place that has all of it together. It not only provides families with this choice of fresh produce, but also brings the community together. I think that it's a fabulous place to support local farmers as well. I'm very proud of Columbus' Hitching Lot Farmer's Market. Makes me proud to be from this area. :)

columbus does not have any where to find fresh fruits and vegetables like the market has. It is great for our community and everyone loves it. It is fun for children and adults.

I went to Columbus to visit and went to the Hitching Lot Farmers Market and loved it. I still get emails and I go everytime I am in town on Saturdays.

The Hitching Lot Farmers Market in Columbus, MS is GREAT, there's plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables and homemade pies and breads and artisan candles and canes and soap and stuff for kids to do and music and hot coffee and lots of friends.

Freshest home-grown foods in the area! For decades, my grandmother and great aunt went to the Hitching Lot to buy the quantities of fresh veggies needed for Sunday lunch.

It is an ideal way to practice "think globally, act locally". I enjoy the Hitching Lot Farmers Market because it is a feast for all of my senses: the wonderful music, awesome produce and canned goods, crafts, aroma of fresh brewed coffee, the laughter and conversation between the vendors and patrons, etc. Recently, an overnight houseguest brought me a lovely hostess basket filled with wonderful offerings from the fresh produce vendors at the market and then I received a thank you note on a wonderful hand painted card. What a delight!

The Hitching Lot Farmers Market is a great Sat. morning event. Hot coffee, food tasting, fried pies, fresh and organic produce, delicious baked goods, lovely crafts, entertainment, and good friends. What could be better? Too bad it can't continue year round.

What a wonderful community gathering place! Great produce, local artisans, live music, free children's activities. It's neighbors and "hometown," an important element in Columbus' charm.

It's a nice place to go for vegetables and to meet friends. Love the home canned goods

Because the Hitching Lot Farmers Market supports all the best things - local produce, fresh food, artists, crafts people, farmers, kids art, music, community and so much more!

The Hitching Lot Farmers market was ressurected from near death (4 or 5 vendors) to so many that the market has most every space filled! The market has organic growers, music, kids activities, cooking demos, special guest speakers (e.g.Felder Rushing), and a wonderful relationship with many other community groups (The Arts Cpuncil, Columbus Visitors Bureau, Garden Clubs, Master Gardeners, and more. It is a market you would expect to find in a much larger city. Quite simply, it's a marvelous market who would make $5000 go a long way!

The Farmers' Market is wonderful for our community in so many ways. The market is a great way to support local growers, find locally grown produce and much more.

It's a great way to support hte local community and they always have awesome food and crafts.

The Hitching Lot Farmers Market has an amazing selection of locally grown produce grown by some of the most genuine people I have ever met. A trip to the market is a treat for the entire family. The community has truly embraced our market and made is a destination place in our city.

The market brings together a nourishing and diverse group of people who care about community and who support the efforts of local growers.

I support my local farmers market because it is like the locomotive that could. I think it can, I think it can, I think it can WIN!!

The Hitching Lot is an excellent small-town farmers' market. There is a great variety of locally-grown produce and homemade foods/canned goods. There are also booths with pottery, soaps, etc. The atmosphere is very lively and friendly. But get there early, because the best stuff is gone fast!
