There is lettuce, spinach and greens; there’s soap and honey, and much more for sale at farmers markets in New Orleans
Farmers markets in New Orleans date back to the founding of the city by French settlers in 1718. You can purchase everything from Ponchatoula strawberries to Silver Queen corn, butter-crunch lettuce to Creole tomatoes, and of course, shrimp, crawfish, and oysters.

As the farmers market scene has developed, shoppers can also find glorious flowers, potted plants, and fresh herbs within the hustle and bustle of the vendors, musicians, chef demonstrations, book signings, and kids' activities.
