SUMMARY: Families are turning to local farms like Native Son Farm to source produce, combating rising grocery prices. Native Son Farm provides local, certified naturally grown, chemical-free produce through community-supported agriculture programs. Eating organic, locally grown produce is budget-friendly compared to commercial stores. Cooking healthy meals doesn't have to sacrifice taste, as shown by certified nutrition coach Julie Gibens. She encourages people to check ingredients in foods they buy and offers classes on making healthy choices. Large quantities of food are cooked in bulk and frozen in small portions for convenience. Overall, the trend towards farm-to-table and healthy eating is growing.

SUMMARY: Construction on Highway 82 in Columbus, Mississippi has raised questions about why the work is not being done at night. The main reason for daytime work is safety concerns for both workers and drivers, as well as the higher cost of nighttime construction. Drivers are advised to merge early and exercise patience, as traffic congestion and lane closures can cause delays. Matt Dunn, MDOT Engineer, reassures drivers that the project will result in a smoother ride once completed. The project is expected to finish by the end of summer. Drivers can stay updated on road closures and alerts through the MDOT app and social media.
