Farms in Louisiana

Louisiana's small farms are not just food producers — they are custodians of a culinary heritage that is recognized worldwide as one of America's greatest contributions to food culture. The Creole tomato has a flavor tied specifically to the alluvial soils of the river parishes that has never been successfully replicated elsewhere. Pontchatoula strawberries, the mirliton squash maintained by Creole home gardeners and small farmers across the New Orleans area, and the heritage varieties of okra, peppers, and sweet potatoes that anchor Louisiana cooking are all agricultural products that exist in part because small farmers have maintained them. Buying from Louisiana farms is buying a piece of that culinary heritage.
