The Mississippi Store That’s In The Middle Of Nowhere But So Worth The Journey

Small town Mississippi is full of unexpected surprises. And you can find one of those surprises in Florence, MS. So fill up your gas tank and get the GPS ready because there’s a remote shop that you’ve got to visit. Take a look:

Located in Florence, Donna’s #6 Produce is a "migratory and mandatory stop" that attracts thousands each year.

A delightful surprise, the roadside shop is situated along a lone stretch of Highway 49.

The current building has only been opened since 2000. However, Donna’s is a Florence staple that’s been serving the area since the 1970s.

Visit today, and you’ll find a large, open air building that’s practically overflowing with fresh fruits and veggies. Though always bountiful, the selection really grows as summer approaches.

And when items aren’t in season here, they’re sourced from producers in other states, which allows the market to stay open year round!

Check out the attached gift shop and you’ll find everything from seasonal items, clothing, and home décor to…

…lots of jarred goodies. To be exact, the shop carries 180 "things in a jar," including jellies, jams, syrups, and pickled items.

Part of the gift shop, Donna’s Mama’s Sweet Shop sells fresh baked breads, homemade cakes, pecan pies, sweet potato rolls, and…

…over 20 flavors of fudge.

No trip to Donna’s would be complete with sampling the homemade ice cream, which comes in more than a dozen different flavors.

Donna’s also has a huge garden center, which features a variety of plants, trees, and shrubs.

Aside from vibrant greenery and colorful flowers, the garden center is stocked with an impressive variety of Mexican pottery and…

…unique garden décor.
