Jefferson Parish Flavors of Health

03/04/2026

Get your fresh produce in Metairie today at LaFreniere Park Farmers Market . Their produce vendors encourage Jefferson Parish residents to make healthy choices by offering local fresh fruits and vegetables for purchase at a reasonable price.

If you are new to this page, Welcome! My husband and I are the owners of Barcelo Gardens . We are the new market managers of Lafreniere Park Farmers Market. We are excited about continuing the market at Lafreniere. One of our goals is to bring fresh, local produce to the community. Barcelo Gardens works with an array of small and medium sized farms to bring that fresh produce to market. We both grow our own produce and bring from other local farms. Farmers can't always go to frequent markets, so we help bridge that gap.
Catch us tomorrow (Wednesday) at 3000 Downs Blvd from 1pm to 6pm.
Some produce we'll have available:
Salad greens
Carrots
Beets
Sweet Potatoes
Spinach
Green onions
Broccolini
Herbs
Chicken, Duck, Quail eggs
Raw honey
Maybe strawberries
