We have at least two daily farmer markets close to our neighborhood. The market open from Monday to Sunday.
Weekly farmer market on Tuesday only. Very small markets. Open hours very short, about 3 to 5 hours:
- from 3.30 PM to 6.30 PM during late spring to summer.
Actually, the hours could be little bit shorter or longer, depend on number of factors such as:
- sell items
- and weather conditions.
Market in the parking areas of our city, Baton Rouge main library. Sellers come from the groups of:
- food artisans
Uniquely, we can’t find bananas and mangoes, because they are import produces.
All produces are grown by local farmers. The farmers are member of association called as Red Stick Farmers.
Off course, the weekly farmer market is not big market, just very few farmers participate. I guess no more than 6 tents (farmers) every week.
Local produces sold in the market may include:
- meats
- homemade foods (pies and bread)
- honey, milk and cheese
- native plants and herbs
- specialty food items.
Do you have weekly farmer markets in your neighborhood?
