We are SO EXCITED to be re-launching our Microgreens Subscription Service this month!! What is that, you ask?

Our Subscribers receive a twice monthly container of freshly harvested microgreens grown in the heart of Lafayette. The containers typically include 3 varieties which change from time to time and, when in season, may also include other lovely items like edible flowers and herbs. Pick up locations are flexible, and you make the arrangements, so we work with YOU!

Our subscribers LOVE having FRESH microgreens in their refrigerator ALL the time because they make it EASY to add incredible nutrition to any meal! We literally toss microgreens on EVERYTHING we eat to add a punch of nutrients and enzymes that are SUPER Bio-available.

The link to subscribe is in the comments below.

Feel free to message or comment with any questions you may have.

Happy Monday friends. As July begins to literally melt into August, fruit production in Louisiana comes to an end. It looks like this week maybe the last week for Ruston peaches. If you'd like to get some before the season is over, I should have some on Saturday at Hub City Farmers market, but I will warn you, you need to pre-order. Even when I have twice what has been pre-ordered by the deadline, they're all spoken for before the market happens. These peaches are delicious and they go quickly!

TEXT Lori at (337)277-7416 with your name, number, date and location of your pick up, and your order.

PRICING:
$20 for 5 lb bag
$40 for 12 lb box
$75 for 25 lb box

If you need less than 5lbs, they are available at $5.00 per pound, but again, you need to pre-order.

RESERVATION NEEDED NO LATER THAN THURSDAY MORNING AT 11:30 A.M. SO WE ARE SURE WE HAVE ENOUGH.

I'll be at Lafayette's Hub City Farmer's Market on Saturdsy and if there are any order, The Grub Lot on Friday. Thank you!!

Hub City Farmers Market is open every Saturday from 8:00-Noon on South College and Pinhook in the Cardiovascular Institute Parking Lot. Make us part of your Saturday morning routine and come get your groceries!!

As I am sure you have noticed, we have been going through a lot here at City Girl's Farm for the last few years. It has been a time of intense grief but also healing. It appears we are coming out of the other side now and I am intensely grateful for that.

We decided to open up our Patreon to Patrons in order to help make the farm a more viable way to pay our family bills each month. We are working on ideas for Patron Benefits , Tiers and more. If you would like to be part of that discussion or support us through Patreon, you can click the link below. Thank you!!

I'm so disappointed but I will NOT have Sugartown Watermelons at Lafayette's Hub City Farmer's Market this week 😞 My farmer was not able to have them harvested for me today. I DO have the peaches that were ordered so if you ordered Ruston Peaches, I have yours. You can order them now for next weekend. The rain is making harvesting a challenge, but if we can, we will get some figs, rosemary and basil for the market as well.

We have our syrups and LOTS of Lavender Lemonade Concentrate available as well.

Hub City Farmer's Market is open from 8-noon on South College at Pinhook in the Oil Center. Make us part of your Saturday morning routine and come get your groceries. And as always we have convenient, FREE PARKING.

If y'all haven't gotten any from then this is your reminder!
They're firm but ripe, sweet, super peachy-you know how some peaches taste like nothing-and are delicious raw or in a pie. Or a cobbler. Or a muffin. Or grilled and served with a little gouda.
Can y'all tell I love peaches?πŸ˜‰πŸ˜‹

Our Story

I grew up around farming. My maternal grandparents and uncle were farmers, my paternal grandfather always had a garden and was always experimenting with plants, and my own parents always had gardens (my dad grew veggies and my mom grew flowers). As a young child, I even grew things. But then, as I got older, I got too busy for that. High school, college, marriage and then full time jobs took up a lot of time and growing things took a back seat to all the other things. And then we started having kids.

Once we started having children, I quickly realized just how broken our food system is. I became fascinated with growing food and with the local food movement. We moved a lot during those early years with our children, so I played a bit with gardens at each of our homes. I learned a lot through trial and error. During this time, we lost my grandparents, and my mother became ill. This convinced me even more of the importance of clean food, Because of Mom’s illness, we decided to move back to Louisiana to be here to help and spend time with family. We were blessed to be able to have some of the land my grandparents farmed, as well as our home in Lafayette. Currently, we have an Urban Farm and are slowly building beds and infrastructure on the farm north of Opelousas which will allow us to grow even more.
