Sun

SonLight Farm sits in Sun, a small unincorporated community in St. Tammany Parish near the Mississippi state line and the Bogue Chitto River. The parish's piney-woods north end holds a mix of horse farms, timberland, and small agritourism operations, a quieter stretch of southeast Louisiana than the Lake Pontchartrain suburbs to the south.

Bush

Bachman Blueberries opens its rows in Bush for pick-your-own season each June into July — bring a bucket or buy one there, and pack water, snacks, and sunscreen, since there's no shade over a blueberry bush. It's a straightforward u-pick operation on Crump Road, no frills attached.

Big Branch

The Market at Saint Thomas sets up along US Highway 190 in Lacombe, a St. Tammany Parish community on the north shore of Lake Pontchartrain. It's a small north-shore market in an area better known for its bayous and pine woods than its farmland.

Ponchatoula

A three-bedroom cabin on the property rents out through Airbnb for anyone who wants to turn a picking trip into an overnight stay.

Ponchatoula

It's run by brothers building the farm from scratch rather than inheriting it — no multi-generation land, no legacy herd, just what they've put together themselves.

Franklinton

Windfield Farm Bakery has been baking in Franklinton since 1994, and the owners went as far as Paris to train in croissant and macaron making — training that shows up in the pastry case.

Ponchatoula

Johndales Farm runs a stand on Robertson Lane in Ponchatoula, the town Louisiana has long called its strawberry capital and home to the Louisiana Strawberry Festival each April. Tangipahoa Parish's sandy soil is built for berries, and stands like this one fill up with the spring harvest.

Loranger

Queen's Bee Farms operates out of Loranger, in the piney, sandy-soil part of Tangipahoa Parish that also grows the region's strawberries. The name makes the specialty plain — honey — sold from a stand on Highway 40.

FourBar Ranch raises premium Angus beef, pasture-raised chicken, and rabbit on family land in Loranger, Louisiana that's been held since 1896, with the current fifth-generation operation launched in 2023.

Beef sells in whole, half, and quarter shares; chicken comes through a partnership with A&A Acres.

Loranger

Mobile Meat Market providing Louisiana Certified Angus Beef.

Sweetpea Farms LLC operates out of Franklinton, in Washington Parish's Florida Parishes farm country near the Mississippi state line. What the farm grows or sells isn't published online, so call ahead before visiting.

Picayune

St. Charles Borromeo is a Catholic parish school on Goodyear Boulevard in Picayune, in Pearl River County. Its place in a farm directory reflects a seasonal event, most likely a pumpkin patch or fall festival run as a school fundraiser, rather than a working farm. Contact the school or parish to confirm dates for any current event. The listing spells the name 'Borremeo'; the correct spelling is Borromeo.
