New Orleans

Barcelo Gardens and Market operates as a teaching garden and farmers market in the Upper Ninth Ward, at 2301 Gallier Street. It opens every Saturday except the first of the month, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., selling produce, proteins, and specialty goods with an emphasis on Black-owned vendors and regional growers. The garden also runs classes for anyone who wants to learn to grow food, not just buy it.

Sankofa Farmers Market is run by the Sankofa Community Development Corporation, the nonprofit behind the Fresh Start Market grocery on St. Claude Avenue that ended the Lower Ninth Ward's food-desert designation. The organization serves more than 800 households with produce, seafood, and pantry staples priced roughly 30% below the corporate chains, plus regular cooking demonstrations.

Our School At Blair Grocery Farmers Market is tied to a Lower Ninth Ward urban farm and youth program that has grown produce on formerly vacant New Orleans lots and put teenagers to work in the fields. The market is where that produce reaches the neighborhood.

St. Bernard Seafood & Farmers Market sets up in Arabi, just downriver from New Orleans in a parish where commercial fishing carries as much weight as farming. The pairing in the name is the point — fresh Gulf seafood alongside produce, sold by the people who caught or grew it.

Bounyful Green Market sets up on the first and third Sunday of each month at 149 Delaronde Street in Algiers Point, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. The nonprofit market connects shoppers with growers and producers working within the local food economy, selling seasonal produce, fresh vegetables, and handmade goods. It has become a regular gathering point on the west bank, with occasional closures around Mardi Gras.

Old Algiers Harvest Fresh Market sells fresh produce on the West Bank side of New Orleans, in the Algiers Point historic district directly across the river from the French Quarter. Markets like this fill a real need — the West Bank has fewer full-service grocery stores than the rest of the city.

Crescent City Farmers Market's Uptown location sets up at the corner of Magazine and Girod in the Warehouse District, Saturdays 8 a.m. to noon and Wednesdays 3 to 7 p.m. Run by the nonprofit Market Umbrella, it brings together farmers, fisherfolk, ranchers, dairies, bakers, and beekeepers selling direct to New Orleans shoppers. It is one of three weekly Market Umbrella locations across the city.

ReFresh Farmers Market operates out of the ReFresh building on North Broad Street in Mid-City New Orleans, a renovated supermarket redeveloped by the nonprofit Broad Community Connections after the site sat empty for years. The building also holds a grocery store and teaching kitchen, and the market adds a rotating lineup of area growers.

Crescent City Farmers Market's Mid-City location runs Thursdays year-round, 3 to 7 p.m., rain or shine, along Orleans Avenue. More than 70 local farmers, fishers, and food producers sell fresh produce, wild-caught Louisiana seafood, dairy, and farm-raised meat here weekly. Market Umbrella, the nonprofit behind it, estimates the market draws roughly 150,000 shoppers a year across its New Orleans locations.

The Crescent City Farmers Market's Sunday edition fills the City Putt parking lot at New Orleans City Park from 8 a.m. to noon, with sister markets Uptown on Tuesdays and Mid-City on Thursdays. Run by nonprofit Market Umbrella, the market doubles SNAP dollars through Market Match and hosts dozens of Louisiana vendors — from Cherry Creek Orchards fruit to Anna Marie Seafood and Leo's Bread.

Westwego Farmers & Fisheries Market has sold fresh Gulf seafood and produce on the West Bank of Jefferson Parish for decades — the kind of place where boiled crawfish and shrimp share table space with tomatoes and greens. It's one of the longer-running markets in the New Orleans metro area.

Harahan Farmers Market runs Sundays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Zeringue Park, built around a mix of fresh produce, handmade goods, and prepared food from local vendors. The market bills itself as family- and dog-friendly, with a stated focus on health and wellness for the Jefferson Parish community it serves.

Kenner

Rivertown Farmers Market sets up in Kenner's Rivertown district, the city's historic riverfront strip of museums and restored storefronts along Williams Boulevard. It's a small, walkable market footprint — park once and hit the museums, the shops, and the produce stands in the same afternoon.

George Brooks Farmers Market runs seasonally in Belle Chasse, open 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. and promoted by Plaquemines Parish Tourism as a stop for local produce. Vendors sell fresh fruits, vegetables, and other locally grown goods alongside handcrafted items, indoors and out of the Plaquemines heat.

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.

German Coast Farmers' Market has run in St. Charles Parish since 2003, with a Saturday market in Destrehan from 8 a.m. to noon and a Wednesday market in Luling from 1 to 5 p.m. Vendors sell fresh vegetables, fruit, flowers, meats, seafood, artisan bread, and honey, and the market accepts SNAP at both locations. It partners with the United Way of St. Charles to keep fresh food accessible.

Mandeville Trailhead Community Farmers' Market draws more than 80 local artisans, producers, and growers every Saturday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at 675 Lafitte Street. Shoppers find fresh produce, eggs, poultry, baked goods, soaps, and prepared foods, with live music most weeks and pet adoptions on second Saturdays. The market won the 2026 Best of St. Tammany gold award in the farmers and community market category.
