Local farmers market connects BR community members

The Red Stick Farmers Market is a staple in the Baton Rouge community and supports local farmers and artisans as well as the people who shop at the market. Darlene Adams Rowland has taken over as executive director of BREADA, the Big River Economic and Agricultural Development Alliance, after working for the organization for 13 years. The farmers market is all about supporting and bringing the community together. That is why the market is made up of all local vendors that BREADA has visited. BREADA is the non-profit organization that puts on the Red Stick Farmers Market. Vendors at the market include bakers, farmers, restaurants and more.

Red Stick Farmers Market s new executive director wants to connect farmers and shoppers

Just about every Saturday morning, shoppers flock to the Red Stick Farmers Market in downtown Baton Rouge carrying off bags of satsumas and collards, milk and cream. But long before the customers show up at 8 a.m., the farmers and the staff of the Big River Economic and Agricultural Development Alliance, which runs the market, have been hard at work. A good many of the more than 50 member farmers will have trucked in a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables, meats and seafood, artisan breads, homemade pies, honey, milk and cheese, native plants, herbs and specialty food items. Everything filling the bins and tables under the tents has been grown or produced locally. So, while you will find heirloom tomatoes and Creole cream cheese, you won t find bananas or mangoes.
