Mississippi’s agricultural heritage is rich and colorful filled
with great innovation and success. In this largely rural state, where
everything from cotton to catfish and poultry is grown, visit a cotton
farm and find out how cotton became “king”.
Stroll along the banks of a catfish pond or visit a museum that will
take you from “pond to plate”, with its fascinating whiskers and fins
story. Board a bus and tour a buffalo park, or visit a university’s
agriculture research facilities that include wine and cheese making
laboratories. Sample the culinary delights at an old country bakery,
taste an aged vineyard wine, or cast your net into warm gulf waters
for some succulent shrimp.
Bring your family and join in the fun in our many corn mazes, pumpkin
patches and hayrides. Enjoy the good life. It’s here to explore in
Mississippi.
