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.

Fantastic selection and prices you can't beat! I am so happy we stopped here. Much of the produce…read moreis priced by the pound, so if you are getting one or two of an item it is very inexpensive. And the people are super friendly.

I'm on a crawfish tour yall.. I just want to know why no one told me about this place. Or why I…read morenever heard of it. When I tell you out of all the crawfish I've eaten this season this place takes the cake HANDS DOWN. The crawfish have a nice citrus flavor to them I love that. It's not like all the other crawfish spots I've been eating around town they hit different. The PERFECT HEAT level. Will still have your nose running but you can still taste the crawfish! It doesn't over power. Nice sized crawfish too. The potatoes cut in big nice chunks with good flavor. What set it over the top for me was the butter sauce. Ask for it! I didn't know to ask for it until I heard ole buddy before me ask and I was like whaaaat? It slight sweet to me with a hint of garlic I'll get it everytime. This is my NEW spot. Service was cool they were nice. I was in and out.

Crawfish were small but mighty. They taste so freaking good. You could taste citrus, celery, and…read morecreole seasoning. They were the bomb. It's a corner store type joint so that's the ambiance, the service was that of a corner store lol nothing special. In and out. I highly recommend.

As a California expat, I love me a good farmers market. When I lived in Gretna, I always longed…read morefor one and wouldn't you know that they started one after I moved away I've been here for 7 years and I'm thrilled that our local bayou has a farmers market. It's small, with a smattering of local farmers, fisherman and crafters. The one day that I went I scored some home harvested honey, a couple lemon tarts and a recycled bag made from a chicken feed bag.....score!!!!! Each Saturday as I drive by, the market keeps getting bigger and bigger...!!!!! Looking forward to the day when I could buy a majority of my needs at the market and not the big box store..... It's the little things that me feel more welcome here in Louisiana......

AMAZING little local market! Everyone was so nice. It was almost like hanging out around a family…read morereunion! My wife and I believe in buying local especially during these times. And this is one of our weekly stops from now on.

Somebody reviewed this as being in gravel lot, no shade and vendors taking the parking. Well this…read moreis a farmers market and should be reviewed about the products and produce available. The products and produce available was FANTASTIC. It's very hard to find a place to have a farmers market because it's not open every single day so it's not a "money making" piece of land. While this market is in a gravel lot with out shade it's not a place you spend hours so I don't see this as a real drawback to shopping there. Vendors come with lots of produce and products and can't carry them on their backs so yes they do have to park where they sell their products. If you want AC, parking at the door then go to a grocery store and get mostly 2nd choice vegetables. If you want home grown vegetables then come to an open air farmers market and deal with the weather and parking. I'll choose fresh vegetables every time. GREAT FARMERS MARKET

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.
