Somebody reviewed this as being in gravel lot, no shade and vendors taking the parking. Well this…read moreis a farmers market and should be reviewed about the products and produce available. The products and produce available was FANTASTIC. It's very hard to find a place to have a farmers market because it's not open every single day so it's not a "money making" piece of land. While this market is in a gravel lot with out shade it's not a place you spend hours so I don't see this as a real drawback to shopping there. Vendors come with lots of produce and products and can't carry them on their backs so yes they do have to park where they sell their products. If you want AC, parking at the door then go to a grocery store and get mostly 2nd choice vegetables. If you want home grown vegetables then come to an open air farmers market and deal with the weather and parking. I'll choose fresh vegetables every time. GREAT FARMERS MARKET

There aren't enough words to describe how awesome this location is!!…read more The staff is always so warm and welcoming which, these days, is hard to find.

Ponchatoula is a quaint little town in Tangipahoa Parish…read more Yearly they host the "world famous" strawberry festival. Personally I can't stand the festival, but the town is pretty cool. In the old downtown area there are at least 5-10 full fledged antique shops. The shops are somewhat near one another so you can park and walk to all of them without moving your car. There are several rail cars on display and there is a cage in the middle of town with an alligator. I'm not sure of the significance, but not many towns can claim a live gator in the middle of town. Ponchatoula is a cool place to visit. It would be worth the drive from New Orleans or Baton Rouge for a nice day trip.

I bought the RM43 Total Vegetation control (which is made in Ponchatoula Louisiana which is why I…read morebought it trying to support local business) that was supposed to last a year. This so called weed killer didn't last a month. I used it straight from the direction written on the container. So I called the company and tried to explain to the lady on the phone how the product did not work. She totally talked over me stating I used it wrong and everything she told me I should have done I did it the exact same way. She kept repeating her self saying, a lot of people use more of the killer than they are supposed to, I tried to tell her I measured the way the bottle instructed, she wasn't trying to hear anything I was saying. Bottom line if you have weed problems don't waste your money on this crap!! I got weed killer from Loews for $8.00 and it killed the weeds quicker. I would rather keep buying that and just keep the weeds sprayed with it. This just prove the point of just because something coast more doesn't mean it's better!! Because this is NOT!!

Parade was loads of fun, small hometown feel, everyone was smiling. Then we went to the "fair"…read moresection. People were packed shoulder to shoulder, with no police presence anywhere, rip-off aggressive carney games, and crazy overpriced carnival food like $20 elephant ears, with a handful of vendors charging French Market at Mardi Gras prices for arts and crafts. Not to mention $30 "half flats" that were less than half that down the road at Rouses from the same exact farms. This is after we paid $20 to park. I'm all for supporting local, but when you're crammed in like sardines and you're paying close to $200 for carnival food (there were a few exceptions of good food) it's a hard PASS for us. There were TWO sh--tings - thankfully after we left. Love the people of Ponchatoula, but we'll avoid the festival in the future.

This is what you do for your elderly family members, then when the parade is over, the street opens back up and you can drive out. Otherwise, parking is generally around $20 in various lots. Sometimes you can park along Railroad Ave for free or at Kiwanis park. Make sure you bring cash. As for restrooms the city ones are generally locked up and you are forced to find the Porto Johns. Expect to wait in a long line for those. There is plenty of overpriced food, games, and strawberry flats ($25-$30). But is to be expected as this is a festival.
