Farmer's Markets,
Local Markets, & Flea MarketsGerman Coast Farmer's MarketSaturdays: 8-12 noonOrmond Plantation
13786 River Road
Destrehan, LA
Wednesdays: 3-6:30 p.m.St. Charles Plaza (old K-Mart Parking Lot to the locals)
12715 Hwy 90
Luling, LA
www.germancoastfarmersmarket.orgThis is a great market, with a wide variety, and I love the drive out from New Orleans to Ormond Plantation! Its such a change of pace from city to country, and the River Road sports so many history that it is always a nice drive. Parking is easy, you are literally right there with the market, so its readily accessible even to those who have mobility impairment. The parking lot at Ormond Plantation is shell so the surface isn't exactly smooth, but the one in Luling is literally an asphalt paved lot.
Westwego Farmers & Fisheries Market484 Sala Avenue
(corner of 4th & Sala)
Westwego, LA 70094
www.cityofwestwego.comSaturdays: 8:30-2:00 p.m.
This is another fantastic market, freshly built and complete with stage and CLEAN restrooms. Its still in its infancy, but there is already a good selection of vendors using it. I've seen plants, handcrafted items, food items, fresh fruit & veggies, shrimp, and meat for sale here. I've heard some great local musicians playing and met a congressman. The restrooms are an amazement--most flea and farmers markets are seriously restroom impaired, and have a facility that was adapted to the market concept for a few hours a week. This one was designed for it, and its lovely.
Parking is also convenient, with the unpaved parking lot located across Salas Avenue from the market itself. They also feature concerts and other events at this venue.
Crescent City Farmers MarketSaturday Market: corner of Girod & Magazine St., 8:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m.
Tuesday Market: River Road at Uptown Square, 9:00 a.m.-1:00 p.m.
www.crescentcityfarmersmarket.orgThis is a well-established market, and its very busy with an ample selection. If you live in the city of New Orleans itself, its quite conveniently located. This market has a LOT going on, so signing up for their newsletter is also a good idea. It also offers the option of using your food stamp card, a great boon to those having hard times, as it allows the user to buy great fresh food at great prices! They have also been running a special in which the Market matches up to $25 of what is spent on the "Louisiana Purchase Card" (food stamps) to encourage users to shop the market, as its quite a new idea to be able to use it there. This offer will last as long as they have funding for it, and allows EBT/food stamp cardholders to double their purchases for the same amount.
(read about the program here)Hint: For those driving in from Jefferson Parish, don't try to park on Magazine Street, choose one of the side streets instead--you will be much closer, especially if you are buying any quantity!
