The Byram Farmers Market (20 Willow Creek Lane, Byram, 601-373-4545) has been open for seven years and is off Siwell Road behind BankPlus. The market is open Monday through Saturday from 8 a.m.-6 p.m. until late October and reopens every year in March.
Byram Farmers Market is locally run and owned and sells produce from farmers. Each of the numerous farmers who contribute to the market specializes in different products, and some bring multiple items for sale.
You’ll find all kinds of fresh produce in season. Right now, some favorites are butterbeans, peas, squash and okra. It also has vendors of wildflower honey, roasted peanuts and canned goods.
Non-food items at the Byram Farmers Market include decorated bottles for indoor use, beautiful two-story birdhouses, goat milk soap and outdoor swings. While it carries a limited amount of garden ornaments, the market does have fruit trees and flowers.
