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

It's just a great way to spend an afternoon. Last weekend I had a watermelon lemonade, crawfish pasta for lunch, petted a few rescue pups, AND watched the band and a toddler interpretive dance to their music. I perused the crafts and the costume sale they were having in the back. So much fun and you never know who you'll run into. And what you might be able to take home with you.

The market takes place in the public parking area and usually features food, jewelry, soap, art, clothing, textile and candle vendors, among others. Accompanied by local bands, it is a great place to support the concept of shop local, shop small. We have discovered more than a handful of items at this market that we have integrated into our regular routine and a few special ones too! Highly recommend a stop here. A note on parking, there is usually plenty of parking on side streets adjacent to the market - but be considerate of neighbors and local businesses and feed the meter if you're on the street because the meter maids be a watchin.

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. :)

This is a nice farmers market that has a decent mix of items. They really have a lot of variety…read morehere with the actual farm fresh produce often being in the minority of the choices. They have some freshly prepared food you can order and eat here and then other things that are packaged you can eat now or later. There are also many arts and crafts to enjoy and then an interesting selection of various other books, crafts and knickknacks. It does seem to be pretty variable here as I've been here when they had lots of amazing things and other times where the selection was blah. I've enjoyed some great live music here and then just had pretty blah times. The good news is this market is located right in downtown Gretna so there are lots of good options to eat and drink at in the area so if you arrive on a less than optimal market day there is still plenty to keep you occupied.

This past year I've had a thing for purchasing copper jewelry- most bracelets from South Korea, Mexico City, Tijuana and Mt. Charleston. Wondered if anyone ever made copper necklaces. I saw a few vendors that had thick linked chains. I bought the medium $45 length- tax is high in New Orleans. Far cry from dainty but copper is supposed to be good for arthritis and health.

Congested with wandering tourists, most of the vendors sell items that could be found at any flea market in the country. A lot of the souvenirs and clothing fell way short in reflecting authentic New Orleans craftsmanship. I was hoping for a market more along the lines of Barcelona's La Boqueria with bounties of fresh produce and appetizing edibles, but there was just a row of fast food kiosks beyond the beignets at Cafe du Monde. Without a doubt, the highlight of the market was the strolling groups of musicians randomly playing jazz to enraptured tourists. RELATED - Exploring New Orleans?

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!
