The Covington Farmer's Market is the place to go if you want farm fresh produce, meats, seafood,…read moreand craft food items. Everyone knows that the fresher your food is, the better it tastes. Not only do you get extremely fresh items, you're able to meet the farmer who raised the animals and grew the vegetables you're buying. In my opinion, this is the best farmers market within driving distance of New Orleans. Here are the reasons why: Proximity to farms - Many people may not know this, but the Northshore is home to many different types of farms. Because Covington is close to the farm, you will get the freshest possible items. Variety - Whether you eat meat, are a vegetarian, or even a pescetarian, there will be something for you at this market. I particularly like the farm fresh meats. On my last visit I spoke with a cattle farmer who was selling his wares. His offer of a processed half or full cow seemed highly desirable, but I had nowhere to store that much meat. I did buy some of his ground beef which was better than anything I have sampled before, including from fancy stores. There are also numerous vendors selling products they made locally. As Jennifer B. mentioned, the Italian cookie stand is a must visit. Besides amazing products, the guys who run the stand are very friendly and entertaining characters. If you have kids make sure you pick up one of their cookies in the shape of popular cartoon characters. Besides all the food, there are also several plant vendors each week. I don't know much about plants, but they had quite the variety. I am a big fan of this market, and think you will be too.

Besides produce, there are usually baked goods and other homemade items. There are also meat and seafood providers usually. Additionally they have been hosting some recycling on site as well. Market tokens can be purchased but vendors usually except cash or online payment and even credit card sometimes. I miss the market on Saturdays since that was more convenient to me but Sunday is certainly popular too. Check the CCFM instagram to see what's been available.

This is an interesting farmers market with an eclectic mix of fresh food, meat, seafood, bread,…read morefresh shucked oysters, homemade sausage, art, soaps, jerky, jewelry, dog treats, fresh cracklin', jellies & salad dressings, honey, vinegars, local coffee and tea, fresh pretzels, fresh juice drinks, desserts and fresh shrimp cocktails. I'm sure I'm leaving something out, but you get the drift. Obviously the selection changes every week, but you get to know your favs. Parking is generally available, though you may have to drive around or walk a block or two - at least it's free on weekends. Bank to get cash is close by, but most vendors take Venmo now; some take credit cards. You've got to get out of bed - might as well make the morning a good experience. :)

Now that we are about to welcome fall in south Louisiana I thought I'd tell you about a great…read morelittle farm in Folsom where you can bring your family and have a really nice day. The Red Bluff Farm is a gem of a place that I was surprised to learn had not been reviewed here yet. I've been here several times on school field trips and enjoyed it so much that it's become a yearly tradition to take my kiddos here every October. Once you drive up and park you pay a small fee to enter the farm. The first thing you will notice are local vendors who have set up shops selling their wares. I've seen everything from handmade wind chimes to locally grown produce and honey being sold here. It's fun to browse and talk to the vendors and see the passion that they have for their products. Next you'll wind your way around a pretty little pond where you're sure to see many ducks. It's always a treat for the kids if there happens to be a mommy duck with her ducklings swimming in the pond. Set up around the farm are little stables with cute farm animals to observe and delight over. Calves, piglets, goats, bunnies and foal are what you can expect. They even let you feed some of the baby animals with bottles. Awwwww!! One of the biggest hits of the farm are the hayrides that are scheduled at the top every hour. The drive goes around to where the horses are housed and is an informative way to get a behind the scenes look at what goes into running a farm. The last thing we always do is each pick a pumpkin from the large pumpkin patch to bring home and carve. You definitely need to bring your family here! It's a really fun day trip perfect for autumn!

So many things to eat, see, and buy!…read more My friends and I walked over here as it was on our list of things to do but we were so amazed at how many food options there are as well as things to buy. The end we came in from started with food and there are beignets, oysters, boils, crawfish, and a whole bunch of other options. There is something for everyone to eat here. The other section had a lot of stalls selling trinkets, clothes, and artwork. I bought a couple of cute dresses and my friends and I all bought some artwork to bring home. It's a great place to get your souvenir shopping done as there are some unique pieces here!

The French Market is one of those main stages of New Orleans culture. It's one of those…read moreestablishments that has been around forever. From the moment you walk into this space, what you are confronted with is tons of all kinds of great and unique everything. Much of it is not only sold by local artisans, but made by them, as well. French market is predominantly an open air location. What you will find here are small shops that each offer a very unique collection of items that are very specific to their own shop. The items that are sold here span the gambit from jewelry, to artworks, to ethnic pieces that represent the culture from where the shop owner comes from. There is really a lot of everything at the French Market. Meaning, this is a great place to get that really unique gift that you wanna get for that special someone or to find that unique piece of whatever that you will personally use. As there are numerous shops here, each business provides a unique buying experience. Each one represents what they offer, and do it from their own perspective. From this, you'll find some shop merchants that are super friendly, very cordial, and more than willing to make deals with you. Others, not so much. But, that's what makes this location truly interesting. All the personalities that make up this shopping establishment. More than simply a place to shop for gifts, artworks, souvenirs, and the like, French Market also offers some great food stalls. So, if you need a snack, drink, or even a full meal, you can find it here. As this is open air, in the summer, it can get kinda hot inside this establishment. This is not bad or good, this is just something to keep in mind. This is the same during the winter months. You can't get kind of cold in there. But, at least from my perspective, that's a little bit easier to deal with. You just have to wear a jacket. Overall, this is one of the main stays of NOLA. It's truly a must see location. And, for people who know the city well, this is a place to go to when you want to find that truly unique item. Truly, you never know what you'll find.
