Lafayette · Farm Stand

Carencro · Farm Stand

Les Dames Des Fleurs — French for "the ladies of the flowers" — keeps a stand in Carencro, just north of Lafayette in Acadiana. The name marks it as a flower operation, a departure from the produce stands that dominate this part of Cajun country.

Carencro · Agritourism Farm

BluesBerry Fields grows its blueberries organically and opens the rows to pickers just two days a week — Wednesdays and Sundays, roughly 5 to 7:30 p.m. — rather than running as an all-week operation. Entry is free; berries run about $7 a pound with no limit on how much you carry out.

Breaux Bridge · Agritourism Farm, Produce Farm

D&D Berry Farm keeps it simple — blackberries, picked by hand, on Doyle Melancon Road outside Breaux Bridge. There's no corn maze or gift shop attached, just a berry patch that opens when the fruit is ready. Call ahead to check on picking conditions before a visit.

New Iberia · Farm Stand, Orchard

New Iberia · Farm Stand, Orchard

Romeros Orchard sits in New Iberia, Iberia Parish's seat along Bayou Teche in Cajun sugar cane country. The "orchard" in the name sets it apart from the cane and rice operations that dominate this part of south Louisiana.

New Iberia · Agritourism Farm, Orchard

Daniel and Anna's Orchard runs a small on-farm market on Freetown Road outside New Iberia, cash-only, with whatever's come off the trees that week set out for sale. It's a modest operation — no event calendar, no gift shop, just an orchard family selling direct from the property.

New Iberia · Agritourism Farm, Orchard

Eddie Romero's Orchard grows an unusually wide mix for one Louisiana farm — apples, peaches, pears, oranges, grapefruit, lemons, grapes, blackberries, tomatoes, and pawpaws, plus fresh eggs from the farm's own hens. Picking is by appointment, with a farm stand and market on-site for anyone who'd rather not pick their own. Guided tours are available, and the owner speaks French, a nod to the Acadiana parish it sits in.

New Iberia · Agritourism Farm, Orchard

Daniel & Anna's Orchard sits in Iberia Parish, Acadiana country known for sugarcane fields and the citrus orchards that line the bayous around New Iberia. Family orchards in this stretch of south Louisiana typically open to the public once satsumas and other citrus ripen in the fall.

Delcambre · Farmers Market

New Iberia · Farm Stand

Iberia Community Garden Co-Op, also known as Iberia Market Garden, grows food on a quarter acre in New Iberia using pesticide-free, bio-dynamic methods, and still sends out up to 25 bags of produce a week. The garden opens Mondays for tours, guest gardening, and a harvest-your-own stand, showing how much a small urban plot can produce when it's managed intensively.

New Iberia · Farm Stand, Produce Farm

Heirloom Produce Cooperative pools crops from a group of home gardeners around New Iberia to sell heirloom-variety produce under one roof on West St. Peter Street. It isn't a single farm — it's several backyard growers combining what they've raised into one stand, which is why the mix changes week to week.

New Iberia · Farm Stand

The Garden Shed sells what's in season out of a produce stand on Morning Glory Road in New Iberia — vegetables and fruit from local ground, bedding plants, and canning supplies for anyone putting up their own preserves. It's a straightforward roadside operation, more grocery run than tourist stop, geared toward Acadiana households restocking the kitchen.

Kaplan · Agritourism Farm

Four Oaks Farm is in Kaplan, in Vermilion Parish's rice and crawfish country on the Cajun prairie. Specifics on what the farm grows or offers aren't published online, so call ahead to confirm before visiting.

Opelousas · Agritourism Farm, Orchard

Bois de Figue Orchard grows figs without pesticides on Richard Road outside Opelousas, open for picking roughly end of June through mid-July when the fruit ripens. Pick your own for $8 a gallon or buy figs already picked; the farm's own web address, iwantfigs.com, doubles as its unofficial slogan.

Opelousas · Farmers Market

Opelousas Farmers' Market runs out of the St. Landry Parish seat, a town that built an entire festival — the Louisiana Yambilee — around the sweet potato harvest. Expect the seasonal Louisiana staples that make the region famous: yams, okra, purple hull peas, and whatever else parish growers bring in that week.

Opelousas · Agritourism Farm

This u-pick farm on Highway 357 outside Opelousas changed hands recently — the McCart family, who ran it for years, sold the property to new owners now operating it as Bien Aime Farm. The new operators say they're expanding it well beyond what the place used to offer.

New Iberia · Farm Stand, Produce Farm

Collins Produce sells fruit and vegetables from a stand on East Admiral Doyle Drive in New Iberia. Information on the operation beyond its location is limited — a small, direct-to-customer stand without much of a public footprint.

Jeanerette · Farm Stand

Sugar City Growers Co-Op takes its name from Jeanerette's own nickname — the town has called itself the Sugar City since its sugar-mill days on Bayou Teche. A grower co-op here suggests small cane and produce farmers pooling resources to sell direct, on Main Street in the middle of Iberia Parish's cane fields.
