​Farmers Spotlight: Farm Fresh Family Recipes

Picture

Bonnie Sellars of Sellars Farm in Leland, has been canning her whole life. Her grandmother taught her how to make preserves and pickles as a child, and she has been doing it ever since!

Bonnie grows everything needed to produce her goodies on her land just off Hwy 82. Each week, she prepares fresh items based on what is available in her garden. She comes to the Greenville Farmers’ Market twice weekly with pickles, salsas, jams, chow-chow, jalapeño mustard, apple butter, dried herbs, certified farm fresh eggs, and any fruits and vegetables not used to make her canned items.

Bonnie’s love of preserving what she harvests has spilled into a new generation. Just as her grandmother taught her, Bonnie is teaching her granddaughter the family recipes. Bonnie’s granddaughter aspires to go to culinary school and one day have a restaurant where she can sell her MawMaw’s preserves, salsas, butters, and mustards.
​
Stop by Bonnie’s booth Wednesdays and Saturdays, 8 am-noon at the Greenville Farmers’ Market, 734 Washington Avenue, Downtown Greenville, MS.

The Greenville Farmers’ Market is a Main Street Greenville program.

July 4th Fireworks Cancelled

6/18/2020

Comments

 

Due to concerns regarding COVID-19, the City of Greenville Council Members, Washington County Board of Supervisors, and Main Street Greenville have collectively agreed to cancel this year’s 4th of July fireworks celebration downtown. The three organizations considered alternatives that would allow us to safely proceed during this time, but ultimately, we agreed that the health and wellness of our citizens should remain the top priority despite the popularity of the fireworks show.

Main Street Greenville Director, Gretchen Giachelli, said, “We know how much the community enjoys this event, so instead of focusing on canceling this year, we consider it a jump start on planning for next year!”
​
The City of Greenville, Washington County, and Main Street Greenville wish everyone a happy and safe 4th of July!

Main Street Greenville donates $5,000 to William Alexander Percy Library

6/4/2020

Comments

 
​With this donation, Interim Director Elizabeth Alexander says the library hopes to enhance the Writer’s Exhibit, a literary expo of Greenville’s most storied authors. As a stop on the American Queen Steamboat’s Mississippi River cruise, the Writer’s Exhibit attracts thousands of visitors seeking the roots of Greenville’s literary fathers.
The funds for this donation were generated from last year's Delta Hot Tamale Festival, an event that highlights, promotes, and celebrates regional artists, musicians, authors, and southern food vendors. A recent economic impact study of the Delta Hot Tamale Festival shows that this event injects approximately $5.2 million into the local market each year.  This boost is generated by the nearly 25,000 attendees, of which over 17,000 of those attending were considered visitors to Greenville.
The Delta Hot Tamale Festival is one of many programs Main Street Greenville produces each year in an effort to promote and advance the revitalization efforts of downtown Greenville.  Main Street Greenville recognizes the importance of preserving our rich literary culture and is proud to help the Percy Library maintain that legacy.
