One of the benefits of living downtown is the easy access to the Red Stick Farmers Market. It has become a weekly ritual to spend our Saturday morning shopping for fruits and veggies from Louisiana farmers. The selection has grown over the years and now you will find just about everything you need there, all locally grown and produced. In addition to all the delicious food, the market also offers a program for children to become engaged with the farmers and the products: Red Stick Sprouts. I anxiously awaited my son turning 2 just so he could participate!
Red Stick Sprouts is a year-round local food education and incentive program. "Children ages 2-12 learn where their food comes from through...

Blueberries are in season and bountiful in south Louisiana! The Baton Rouge area is blessed to have many orchards around that will allow families to pick their own Louisiana blueberries, which makes for a fun and fruitful outing with the kids.
Tips From a Seasoned Louisiana Mom on Picking Blueberries
Call the farm ahead of time and/or check their website and social media handles. Most farms have set operating hours but will close if the berries are too picked over.
