Since 2008, Hollygrove Market & Farm has worked to increase access of fresh, local produce to Hollygrove and the surrounding neighborhoods of New Orleans. Through their twice weekly produce market, community gardens, and mentor farmers they are able to provide residents with an affordable option for fresh, local produce as well as resources and space to cultivate their knowledge of growing healthy food.
We got the best black bean salsa and ginger root juice from local vendors along with bread and healthy desert alternatives. Everyone associated with this place was very helpful with questions we had about gardening without pesticides and seasonal vegetables. We plan to volunteer 3 hours a week not only for our free $25 basket, but to obtain the knowledge and the peace of mind that comes with connecting to the earth and the local community.
