Just checking around to see if you have a decent Farmer's Market in your town. I am gardening myself this year but just in case something doesnt grow I am looking to supplement for my canning this season. I am in central Louisiana and willing to travel. Any information would be appreciated.
Thanks

Here in Ponchatoula, and in Hammond, we have a place called Berrytown Produce. They sell from local farmers first, and I find their prices to be about half of grocery store prices. Not an actual farmers market, but pretty close. I'll be making strawberry jam soon.
Well, if you really want to travel, Fayetteville Arkansas has a Farmer's Market that is equal in quality to anything you'd see in Northern California or Connecticut/Long Island. I only went on three saturdays, but the selection was enormous. The locals grow rare heirloom varieties. One day there were red, gold, and white raspberries (all picked that morning). Several people had their own heirloom apples. All four sides of the old town square are packed with vendors. I was there in early September. Pretty much everything is organic (though usually not certified).
