Claiborne Parish farmers market continues season with food demonstrations and family activities

Residents across Claiborne Parish are invited to continue supporting local farmers, growers, and vendors during the ongoing Creole Soul Farms Farmers Market season in Homer.

Hosted by A Gracious Plenty at 628 North Main Street in Homer, the market operates every Friday and the third Saturday of each month from March through October in partnership with the LSU AgCenter.

Organizers say the market offers residents access to fresh produce, plant starts, homemade goods, educational demonstrations, and family-friendly activities throughout the growing season.

Upcoming market highlights include LSU AgCenter food demonstrations and educational programming designed to promote healthy eating and local agriculture. Family activities are also planned, including a children’s “Plant a Zinnia” activity aimed at teaching gardening skills and encouraging youth involvement in agriculture.

Vendors are expected to offer tomatoes, basil, houseplants, and a variety of additional plant starts and garden items during upcoming market dates.

The market is part of a broader effort to support local agriculture while creating opportunities for residents to shop locally and connect with area farmers and producers.

Community leaders say the market continues to serve as an important gathering place for Claiborne Parish residents while promoting nutrition, gardening, and small business growth.

Additional information about market dates, vendors, and activities can be found through Creole Soul Farms and participating LSU AgCenter programs.
