Frequently asked questions

What's in season right now in Louisiana?

It changes week to week — the "at peak now" strip above reads today's date, so it never goes stale. For the classics: strawberries peak early March through mid-April; sweet corn peak early June through late June; tomatoes peak early June through mid-July.

When does the market season start in Louisiana?

It never quite stops — Louisiana carries harvests through the winter months, which is exactly when some of its best produce peaks.

Where can I go u-pick in Louisiana?

We chart timing, not farm listings — but the u-pick planner will tell you when any crop is worth the drive in Louisiana, and any search for "u-pick near me" works better once you know the week to aim for.
