Picking is by appointment, with a farm stand and market on-site for anyone who'd rather not pick their own. Guided tours are available, and the owner speaks French, a nod to the Acadiana parish it sits in.

New Iberia

Heirloom Produce Cooperative pools crops from a group of home gardeners around New Iberia to sell heirloom-variety produce under one roof on West St. Peter Street.

The Garden Shed sells what's in season out of a produce stand on Morning Glory Road in New Iberia — vegetables and fruit from local ground, bedding plants, and canning supplies for anyone putting up their own preserves. It's a straightforward roadside operation, more grocery run than tourist stop, geared toward Acadiana households restocking the kitchen.

New Iberia sits on the Bayou Teche, the slow-moving waterway that shaped Iberia Parish's identity and likely the source of this market's name.
