Where to Grocery Shop in JXN (Without Going To The Grocery Store)
Sometimes, your same grocery routine leaves you uninspired in the kitchen.
While we love our local grocers like Corner Market, Jackson also has several well-known and under-the-radar places to fill your basket and sample new flavors.
Mr. Chen’s Supermarket and Restaurant
A local favorite for authentic Chinese food, Mr. Chen’s also boasts an impressive Asian supermarket stocked with hard-to-find imported goods, noodles, teas, candies, exotic produce, chilled seafood, and cookware and serving ware – to name a few.
Aladdin Groceries at Aladdin Mediterranean Grill
Tucked behind Fondren’s favorite Greek restaurant is Aladdin’s Grocery, a go-to spot for Mediterranean pantry staples. Pick up Basmati rice, imported dates, and fresh Greek yogurt, as well as spices and cooking essentials for your next Grecian feast.
Mississippi Farmer’s Market
Open 8 am to 1 pm on Saturdays, the Mississippi Farmer’s Market is a celebration of the state’s year-round growing season and local farmers, artisans, and crafters. With over 30 stalls dedicated to showcasing Mississippi wares, shoppers can stock up on the freshest meat and beef products, just-picked produce, dairy, eggs, honey, jams and jellies, coffee and tea, and more. Be sure to check out the market’s other stands with locally-made leather goods, woodworking, and gift items like soaps, jewelry, and candles.
Brenda’s Produce
Operating for over 60 years, Brenda’s is a spring and summertime treat for visitors. Located in the city’s old farmer’s market location on Woodrow Wilson Avenue, expect to see farm-grown vegetables, fruits, peanuts, and famous Smith County watermelons when they’re in season.
Adcox’s Produce
Located at Woodrow Wilson Avenue and West Street in the old farmer's market, Adcox’s prides itself on offering not only local and regional produce but also a variety of yard and houseplants to brighten your space. Stay up to date on their social media for limited-time offerings, like a strawberry cake made with ripe Louisiana strawberries.
Logan Farms
While Logan Farms may be recognized for its daily blue plate specials, the restaurant and deli counter also serves specialty hams and turkeys, grab-and-go items, and charcuterie-ready dips and chips to put some party back into your weekly meal prep routine.
MS Ag Museum General Store
In the heart of Small Town, Mississippi – the Ag Museum’s homage to 1920s rural America – the General Store offers a variety of local products, including honey, jams and jellies, and Mississippi cheese straws. The museum also stocks its own jarred goods, frozen casseroles, desserts, and produce using ingredients from its gardens and surrounding regional farms.
