You gotta come to fresh market on Thursdays for the $5 bistro meals!!! (Beware they do sell out of…read moresome items.) They also have a hot plate meal where you can get a rotisserie chicken, two sides, and 6 rolls - feed 4-6 people. (Perfect amount for 3 people sized family in my opinion.). Depends on the portion sizes your family eats. Either way, great last minute meal ideas after a long day of work. Or for your lunch break! The workers are all really polite here, but the checkout line is not fast so make sure to get a basket or cart to make waiting in line easier. It is always clean in here, and they always have lots of fresh produce. Plus a convenient parking lot.

This has always been my 'go to' specialty market in NOLA…read more The vibe is good, creative offerings and just a very pleasant, upscale place to shop. The staff, especially at checkout, always seem to be friendly and upbeat, which is nice. The pre-prepared foods, snacks, drink choices, bakery and deli are typically better than most, sometimes better than the larger Whole Foods on Magazine St. here. And, they have an amazing floral section at the back entrance. There's a convenient parking lot that wraps around the back and downtown side of the building, but the spaces can be tight, especially with a SUV size vehicle. This time I grabbed some coffee, bread, brownies, and wine. Unfortunately, I found many of the aisles and sections not stocked very well. The bakery section had very little product as did several other places. Just empty bins and shelves. Hmmmm? It is the beginning of Mardi Gras season so plenty of King Cake and specialty vodka. Nonetheless, I do like this store. Fun fact- this used to be the Bultman Funeral Home, in a classic building on the corner of St. Charles and Louisiana Streets. Yes, indeed, a mortuary as well.

This herbal retail center has been part of East Houma since 1985. The owner is the same woman who…read moreopened it 31 years ago, and she is now 83! She claims that she is on no medications except for the herbal remedies that she endorses in her store. They have a full line of products from Nature's Sunshine LLC. based out of Utah. I was looking all around Houma for some echinacea, and this was the only place around that carried it. I was surprised to find out that there was a stronger product that the owner turned me on to today that has both echinacea and golden seal. The only drawback that I found from this place was that the parking is so limited, and the sign that is traditionally next to the road has been taken down for repair. So, to find this place you have to look for the State Farm Insurance building which shares the same office space. I will definitely be going back to this place if I am ever in the need of that to remedies, and I find myself in Houma Louisiana

Their inventory is deep and their staff is extremely knowledgeable and accommodating. Make a phone call, ask your questions. It is an unexpected pleasure to get the kind of service you thought was long gone! When I wanted a natural deodorant that worked, I got an excellent recommendation from the staff. When I wanted to try a protein powder, one of the staff spent time with me, helping me choose. Specific supplements I wanted to try, the store carried. My husband likes a particular probiotic and he can always pick it up at Horn of Plenty. Their inventory includes supplements, make-up, snacks, refrigerated goods, publications, and more. Horn of Plenty is a real treasure and great resource for Ascension Parish.

It's been thirteen years since I've reviewed the New Orleans Food Co-Op and I've really grown to…read morelove it so I believe an update is due. It's conveniently located for me, as in walking distance, and you can't beat that for picking up essentials. Anything to save myself a car ride! While their selection isn't always robust as far as produce goes, they have far more locally- grown items than Whole Foods. I think they strive to offer as much local as possible, whereas these days WF does not, so kudos to them for that. I don't want my tomatoes from Mexico if they are in season here. That said, you may not find everything you're looking for as the selection varies, but I can always count on finding an organic baked potato and I'm not going to find that at Robert's, the neighborhood supermarket. I used to think pricing was super high here, but I no longer feel that way. In fact, they are often cheaper than Robert's, as it seems like they are just pricing for tourists looking to stock their vacation rentals. They have a good selection of vegan items, even locally-made cheeses and meats, in addition to the commercial brands. And if you hit it at the right time, there's locally-made vegan baked goods, too. They have a modest wine and beer selection but still convenient if you need it. I think the neighborhood should support the Food Co-op. When it first opened, there was all this strange begrudgement around it, "we wanted a real supermarket," but when that so-called "real" supermarket opened it was a bit of an eye-opener for most of us ($7 for OJ five years ago was unheard of, but of course most of us wouldn't bat an eye in this economy).

I love the fact that they're a small local shop, but I found their prices the same as larger chain retailers! Plus, as I mentioned the owner was super friendly and helpful! I will be sure to return!
