Agritourism & Farm Experiences near New Orleans, LA

New Orleans

Deep Down Roots / Raíces Profundas sits on Sage Street in Gentilly, a New Orleans neighborhood where community gardens and small urban farms have taken root on vacant lots since Hurricane Katrina. The bilingual name signals a farm built to serve both English- and Spanish-speaking neighbors.

New Orleans

Nola Craft Culture isn't a farm — it's a glitter and craft store, event space, and maker space in New Orleans, founded in 2019 by two local women. The shop runs classes in clay work and glitter decoration and doubles as a gathering spot for the city's maker community. Open Tuesday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Sunday afternoons. This listing appears to be a category mismatch rather than an agricultural operation.

New Orleans

Sugar Roots Farm is a nonprofit working farm in Algiers, founded in 2014 by Sharessa Garland.

The farm also collects food waste from New Orleans households to feed its animals and build compost, folding a city recycling problem into its own operation. Memberships now cover unlimited visits.
