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

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.

This is a sleepy town an hour outside of New Orleans that is home to the Strawberry Festival, an…read moreannual event that draws people from all over the state (or so I'm told). Evidently their Octoberfest is quite impressive, though I have not had a chance to come for that. It has everything to meet your basic needs, a hardware store, antique stores, restaurants. On the main street is a 5' by 15' (approximately) cage that houses an alligator. Pretty sad, not covered, right next to the railroad tracks. There was evidently some damage to the city from the Civil War. Ponchatoula was pillaged in 1863 by the Union Army during the American Civil War. After a light skirmish, Confederate troops withdrew, and the Sixth Michigan occupied the town. Most everything of importance was confiscated. According Wikipedia, the history is as follows. Originally established as a mining camp in 1820, incorporating as a town on February 12, 1861. At the turn of the 20th century the local area changed its chief industry from lumber to commercial farming. The main produce was the strawberry. The families who were major farmers during this era, which lasted about eighty years, have their last names engraved on a large plaque in front of city hall. The Strawberry Festival's roots go back to when farmers joined to sell the spring harvest of strawberries. Today it is the second largest event in the state, after Mardi Gras. During the 1980s the local economy changed to tourism, when farming no longer earned enough to sustain the town. The mayor at the time devised a plan to open antique shops where former businesses had been located. There are still about six of these shops in operation. This gave the town a second nickname, "America's Antique City." There is not really much else to say about this quaint town. The only gender neutral restrooms are the port-a-johns. I am sure a town like this would not have gender neutral restrooms on the regular.

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!!

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.
