    Sugar's in the Bywater King Cake from the market...Amazing!
    Madhav S.

    This is a really great farmers market just a little bit past the Industrial Canal in the Lower 9th Ward. Just got home and had a lunch pretty much fully consisting of today's Sankofa purchases: fresh greens, sweet potatoes, olive bread, and king cake. Everything was great, and the king cake was out of this world (from Sugar's in the Bywater). Everyone from the vendors to the market-goers were all friendly and everyone was all around cheerful. Great way to spend a Saturday morning!

This past year I've had a thing for purchasing copper jewelry- most bracelets from South Korea, Mexico City, Tijuana and Mt. Charleston. Wondered if anyone ever made copper necklaces. I saw a few vendors that had thick linked chains. I bought the medium $45 length- tax is high in New Orleans. Far cry from dainty but copper is supposed to be good for arthritis and health. Ok let's see.

Congested with wandering tourists, most of the vendors sell items that could be found at any flea market in the country. A lot of the souvenirs and clothing fell way short in reflecting authentic New Orleans craftsmanship. I was hoping for a market more along the lines of Barcelona's La Boqueria with bounties of fresh produce and appetizing edibles, but there was just a row of fast food kiosks beyond the beignets at Cafe du Monde. Without a doubt, the highlight of the market was the strolling groups of musicians randomly playing jazz to enraptured tourists. RELATED - Exploring New Orleans?

    This is an interesting farmers market with an eclectic mix of fresh food, meat, seafood, bread,…read morefresh shucked oysters, homemade sausage, art, soaps, jerky, jewelry, dog treats, fresh cracklin', jellies & salad dressings, honey, vinegars, local coffee and tea, fresh pretzels, fresh juice drinks, desserts and fresh shrimp cocktails. I'm sure I'm leaving something out, but you get the drift. Obviously the selection changes every week, but you get to know your favs. Parking is generally available, though you may have to drive around or walk a block or two - at least it's free on weekends. Bank to get cash is close by, but most vendors take Venmo now; some take credit cards. You've got to get out of bed - might as well make the morning a good experience. :)

    This is a nice farmers market that has a decent mix of items. They really have a lot of variety…read morehere with the actual farm fresh produce often being in the minority of the choices. They have some freshly prepared food you can order and eat here and then other things that are packaged you can eat now or later. There are also many arts and crafts to enjoy and then an interesting selection of various other books, crafts and knickknacks. It does seem to be pretty variable here as I've been here when they had lots of amazing things and other times where the selection was blah. I've enjoyed some great live music here and then just had pretty blah times. The good news is this market is located right in downtown Gretna so there are lots of good options to eat and drink at in the area so if you arrive on a less than optimal market day there is still plenty to keep you occupied.
