Could be cleaner but nice selection of fruit and the crawfish aroma made you want to order at least 5 pounds.

Well, this stop for fresh fruit, as in the name, and vegetables, strawberry daiquiri, blended…read morestrawberry smoothie, were somewhat confusing for this out of towner. My Bestie encouraged me and hubby to visit The Fruitstand for all things local. We did so after leaving the Crawfish Festival! I am totally here for trying new and local and excited to do so. However, walking into the front cashier to order a strawberry smoothie, and strawberry daiquiri to our surprise was told, with a glowing smile I must add, that all orders were placed in the fruit stand and picked up here at the bar. The fruit stand was located through another door or walk outside and enter from the side entrance into the fruit stand. Not an impressive. Not the cleanest fruit stand. Fruit Flies are calling the place home. There's an unlimited supply of empty bottles and dust. But the parrot is absolutely beautiful propped near the entrance to the fruit stand. Not only can you buy a variety of fresh whole fruits, corn, zucchini, cucumbers, tomato, greens, so many other vegetables. Purchase daiquiris here, other drinks, boiled crawfish, boiled shrimp, boiled blue crab, burgers, fried frog legs, fries, and raw crabs and crawfish by the bag, much more. The locals were extremely friendly. Talking enthusiastically while waiting in line. Hinting that if I'm here, I must be here for the boiled crawfish! Ha! Continuing, husband said his strawberry daiquiri was extra fruity and lite on rum. My smoothie was ok. Perhaps do as the locals, order boiled crawfish and beer! Eat in or take order to go. There were communal tables for indoor dining.

Southside Produce is a great local place to get your fruit and vegetable needs met, as well as to…read morebuy houseplants and other interesting products. This location was historically an open-air market, but was completely renovated with overhead doors that can be closed in inclement weather. They have more space, and more pleasant shopping conditions (especially during summer). Southside Produce isn't a farmers market, but they do sell local produce whenever available. When I was in today, they were showcasing local cauliflower, but also had some beautiful fresh Brussel Sprouts from a farm in California. Their fresh produce is always fresh and high quality regardless of its source. Another amazing area they have is the extensive frozen produce aisle. These include virtually every type of frozen vegetable and fruit. I also noted a selection of local meat products in the coolers, these included quite the selection of sausages! In the preserved products, Southside also has you covered. They have their own brand of pickled, jellied, and preserved foods of all sorts. They also sell other name brands. They have syrups and oils, and other similar products. This is an area that's expanded over the years, and is now quite extensive. Then there are the other products that one can find there. These include things like a significant selection of dried beans and rice, local bread products from a number of bakeries, and cypress furniture. In the right season, you can buy fruit trees to plant in your yard or garden. In all seasons, I recommend Southside as a great place to buy healthy and interesting houseplants. I am always amazed by their selection. Service is always great as well. Normally, one need only take their selections to the counter in the center to be rung up. Their registers accept all modern forms of payment including tap to pay (min $4 on credit cards though). If you need any other help, they will be glad to provide it. Everyone seems cheerful and pleasant. I've been going to Southside Produce for decades now. I felt it was overdue to write a review. It's one of those great Baton Rouge places that you need to visit on a regular basis. I stop by often when I'm in the area.
