DeSoto Farmers Market to Host A Growers Meeting May 11, 2010

May 26, 2010

Mansfield, LA –The DeSoto Farmers’ Market is an effort to provide area growers with an outlet to sell their goods and area residents an opportunity to purchase locally grown or homemade items. The market will be held on Fridays during the month of June 2010 from 7 a.m. until 1 p.m. or until the supply of produce and goods are depleted. It will be located on Highway 171 north of Mansfield near the Mansfield Dixie Youth Park and adjoining the covered area where peas and other produce are sold by the Desoto Parish Sheriff’s Office.

Local growers and other entrepreneurs are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity to sell their produce, flowers, honey, eggs, fresh seafood and other “farm fresh” items. Also encouraged are homemade food and agriculture-related crafts such as jams, jellies, pickles, breads, woodworking crafts, candles and soaps. No live animals, garage sale or flea market type items or farm equipment (unless handmade) will be allowed. A seed exchange is planned where gardeners and growers can bring their extra seeds to swap with one another. A fee of $10 per vendor will be charged to help defray the cost of advertising and other expenditures associated with hosting the market.

The Desoto Farmers’ Market project is a collaborative effort of the Mansfield Business and Civic Association, LSU Ag Center, DeSoto Parish Extension Service, Desoto Soil & Water Conservation District, Louisiana Department of Agriculture, DeSoto Parish Sheriff’s Office and the USDA. To become a vendor or for more information about the market, please contact Chuck Griffin at 318-872-0533 or cgriffin@agctr.lsu.edu.
