Farms in Covington, LA

Covington · Agritourism Farm, Produce Farm

Ridemore runs two businesses on one property in Covington — horse boarding with round-the-clock access for owners, and a pick-your-own patch of blueberries and blackberries that opens for about a month, mid-May through mid-June depending on the season. A few vegetable rows round out the picking.

Covington · Agritourism Farm, Produce Farm

Ridemore Ranch and Berry Farm in Covington opens its blueberry and blackberry rows to pick-your-own visitors through the summer, with corn, cucumbers, peppers, pumpkins, and tomatoes rounding out the season. The ranch also keeps bees for honey and boards horses on the property. It's a working ranch first, opened to u-pick traffic during harvest windows rather than run as a full agritourism attraction, at 154 John T Prats Rd on the north shore.

Covington · Agritourism Farm, Christmas Tree Farm

Tiger Branch Christmas Tree Farm is a choose-and-cut tree farm on Tiger Branch Road in Covington, on Louisiana's north shore. Tree varieties, season hours, and contact information aren't published online, so call ahead before visiting during the holidays.

Covington · Agritourism Farm

Tomkins Farm is in Covington, on Louisiana's north shore in St. Tammany Parish. What the farm grows, raises, or offers visitors isn't published online, so call ahead before visiting.

Abita Springs · Farmers Market

Abita Springs Art & Farmers Market meets every Sunday from noon to 4 p.m., rain or shine, in the town's historic gazebo at the Trailhead in Abita Springs, Louisiana, on the north shore near Lake Pontchartrain. More than 40 vendors sell local produce, wild-caught seafood, pastured poultry, honey, and baked goods, with live music every week and nature trails nearby for kids and dogs.

Folsom · Farm Stand

Buddha Farms sells vegetables and canned goods straight from the farm on Teeney Weeney Lane in Folsom, on the north shore. The operation keeps an Instagram page for regulars checking on what's ready to pick up, though updates run infrequent — a small, low-key farm stand rather than a retail operation.

Bush · Agritourism Farm

Blue Harvest Farms is in Bush, a rural stretch of St. Tammany Parish on Louisiana's north shore known for small produce and berry operations. What the farm grows, its hours, and contact details aren't published online, so it's worth a call before visiting.

Big Branch · Agritourism Farm, Apiary

Ponchatoula · Farm Stand

Bardwell Farms sells out of Ponchatoula, the self-declared Strawberry Capital of the World and home to Louisiana's biggest strawberry festival every April. Strawberries are the obvious bet in season; the rest of the year, expect whatever else Tangipahoa Parish's sandy soil is producing.

Bush · Farm Stand

Be The Change Farm grows seasonal produce using natural, no-spray methods on Highway 40 in Bush. The family operation, an LLC since 2018, is building out a nursery stocked with native perennials and garden plants alongside the produce stand, and hosts occasional art and music gatherings on the property. A YouTube channel documents the daily work of farming in the Deep South.

Ponchatoula · Farm Stand

Country Boys Farm is a first-generation family operation on North Bunker Hill Road in Ponchatoula, raising chickens, goats, and mini donkeys alongside a vegetable stand. It's run by brothers building the farm from scratch rather than inheriting it — no multi-generation land, no legacy herd, just what they've put together themselves.

Bush · Agritourism Farm, Produce Farm

Bachman Blueberries opens its rows in Bush for pick-your-own season each June into July — bring a bucket or buy one there, and pack water, snacks, and sunscreen, since there's no shade over a blueberry bush. It's a straightforward u-pick operation on Crump Road, no frills attached.

Sun · Agritourism Farm

SonLight Farm sits in Sun, a small unincorporated community in St. Tammany Parish near the Mississippi state line and the Bogue Chitto River. The parish's piney-woods north end holds a mix of horse farms, timberland, and small agritourism operations, a quieter stretch of southeast Louisiana than the Lake Pontchartrain suburbs to the south.

Ponchatoula · Farm Stand

Johndales Farm runs a stand on Robertson Lane in Ponchatoula, the town Louisiana has long called its strawberry capital and home to the Louisiana Strawberry Festival each April. Tangipahoa Parish's sandy soil is built for berries, and stands like this one fill up with the spring harvest.

Pearl River · Agritourism Farm, Produce Farm

Sunhillow Berry Farm runs its blueberry picking on the honor system — walk the rows, fill your container, pay $10 a gallon on your way out. The farm sits on 220 acres next to the Bogue Chitto National Wildlife Refuge, with freshwater lakes and walking trails beyond the berry rows. A three-bedroom cabin on the property rents out through Airbnb for anyone who wants to turn a picking trip into an overnight stay.

Loranger · Farm Stand

Queen's Bee Farms operates out of Loranger, in the piney, sandy-soil part of Tangipahoa Parish that also grows the region's strawberries. The name makes the specialty plain — honey — sold from a stand on Highway 40.
