Farm Stands near Covington, LA

Covington

Covington

Folsom

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.

Ponchatoula

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

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

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.

Ponchatoula

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.

Loranger

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.

Franklinton

Windfield Farm Bakery has been baking in Franklinton since 1994, and the owners went as far as Paris to train in croissant and macaron making — training that shows up in the pastry case. Beyond croissants and macarons, the bakery turns out artisan breads, cinnamon rolls, and custom gift baskets, and shows up regularly at area farmers markets.

Loranger

Mobile Meat Market providing Louisiana Certified Angus Beef.

Bogalusa

Hammond

Deluxe Harvest has sold fresh produce out of Hammond since 2005, run by Chuck and Beth as a family business from the start. It sits across from Miller's Mart on Club Deluxe Road, and two decades in, the pitch is still the one they opened with — homegrown produce at a fair price.

Amite

Fleur De Lis Tea Company is the only working tea farm in Louisiana, hand-plucking and processing small batches of black, white, and green tea on its Amite property. Beyond the tea itself — sold under names like Big Easy and Thé Vert — the farm runs guided tours, tastings, tea-making classes, and overnight stays in an on-site lodge, plus weddings and private events.

Franklinton

Amite

Amite City

Homegrown Produce sells fruit, vegetables, and pumpkins from a stand on Rolling Pine Drive in Amite City, sticking strictly to what's in season. Their own tagline says it plainly — fresh seasonal produce, Louisiana grown, nothing shipped in to fill the gaps.

Bogalusa

Independence

Nancy Gonzales runs a farm stand on Danna Road in Independence, in the Tangipahoa Parish strawberry belt that runs from Ponchatoula north through Hammond. Sicilian immigrants settled this area for strawberry farming in the early 1900s, and Independence still holds an Italian Heritage Festival each spring.

Picayune

Bogalusa

Penny Farms runs a stand on Simmons Road outside Bogalusa, in Washington Parish near the Mississippi state line. Timber and paper milling have long driven the local economy, but small farms still sell direct to the surrounding communities.

Mt Hermon

Cryer Family Produce sells fresh fruits and vegetables from a stand in Mount Hermon, near the Mississippi state line in Washington Parish. The family has built a solid local following — their Facebook page has drawn well over a thousand followers from the surrounding community over the years.

Mount Hermon

Cryer Family Farms is a hidden gem on 120 acres in Louisiana, growing fresh local produce and cultivating legacy since the 1940s. With glamping, RV stays, a scenic pond, historic cemetery, and wildlife all around, it’s perfect for retreats, weddings, and unforgettable getaways. We inspire and empower the community with events on farming, cooking, and entrepreneurship—all rooted in family, nature, and tradition.

Amite City

Rivers Farm runs a stand on Old U.S. 51 in Amite City, the Tangipahoa Parish seat sitting in the dairy-and-produce corridor north of Ponchatoula's strawberry country.

Amite

Amite City

Berry Best Produce has sold fresh fruit and vegetables out of Amite City since 2008. The operation runs with about eight people on staff and moves roughly $240,000 in produce a year, according to business filings — modest numbers for a stand that's stayed open on repeat customers for over a decade and a half.

Springfield

Sun-Dew Farms sits on Blood River Road outside Springfield, a few miles from the Landry-Poche stand in the same Livingston Parish strawberry corridor. This end of the parish runs along the Blood River, a slow-moving tributary that feeds the area's sandy, berry-friendly soil.

Springfield

Landry-Poche Strawberry Farm sits in Livingston Parish, just west of the Tangipahoa strawberry belt that made Ponchatoula famous. The name pairs two Cajun surnames and states the crop outright: strawberries, grown and sold direct from a stand outside Springfield.
