The Crescent City Farmers Market Saturday Market
Wake up to the best of the season's harvest every Saturday morning, when the Crescent City Farmers Market takes up residence in New Orleans' historic Warehouse District! Look for the handsome Dafford Brothers mural at the William B. Reily Company parking lot: that's where you'll find the best in fresh, locally grown produce, seafood, baked goods and much more. Come for the food, and stick around for great entertainment by local musicians, cooking demonstrations, or just to shoot the breeze with friends and the farmers, chefs and fishers who put food on the city's tables. The Saturday Market runs year-round from 8 a.m. to 12 noon at the corner of Magazine Street and Girod Street. If it rains, look for us inside the big building adjacent to the parking lot. Who We Are
The Crescent City Farmers Market is the thrice-weekly public face of marketumbrella.org, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, nongovernmental organization. Founded in 1995 as a part of the Twomey Center for Peace Through Justice at Loyola University New Orleans, the Market is an outgrowth and reflection of marketumbrella.org's core mission to cultivate the field of public markets for public good. Learning, sharing and growing, marketumbrella.org cultivates community markets that utilize local resources to bolster authentic local traditions. We believe that ambitious social, health, environmental and financial goals are achieved if trust and respect are present. We envision communities of market umbrellas, like flowers in the field, opening all over the world for public good.

St. James Cheese We are Located at 5004 Prytania Street New Orleans, LA. (504) 899-4737
Mission To provide our guests with a meticulously selected and unexpectedly diverse assortment of perfectly ripe cheeses, charcuterie, and gourmet grocery items.
How it Works We know people who know people who know people. Some time ago we figured out that the best way to get the farmhouse cheeses we go crazy for was to find the individuals as enthusiastic about making them as we are about selling them. We¡¯ve built an international network of cheese makers and affineurs who hook us up with the artisan and farmhouse cheeses not found in other shops.
What to Expect Operating on the premise that cheese should be fun, we try to make each visit to our shop unique and unforgettable. It is a playground for the cheese rookie, the rind-sniffing expert, and the curd curious. These are our people. St James cheesemongers and guests are encouraged to try every cheese, every day, to ensure that each cheese is being offered at its peak.
Who is St James? St James Cheese Company is a family-run enterprise, and our staff and guests are a part of this family. We are Richard and Danielle Sutton. We¡¯ve pioneered the effort to bring artisanal cheeses to New Orleans since 2006, the year we moved back to a hurricane-ravaged city to open our shop against the well-meaning advice of those who care about our safety and sanity.
Our obsession with cheese spans two continents. The name of our shop ¡ª St James ¡ª is homage to our roots as well as to our future:
St James The London neighborhood home to Paxton & Whitfield, the 200-year old shop where Richard and Danielle began their careers in cheese.
St James Infirmary The ancient London hospital sung about by Louis Armstrong, New Orleans¡¯ most beloved trumpeter.

ABOUT US
The Hollygrove Market and Farm (HM&F) is a urban farm, local produce market, and community garden space located in the heart of New Orleans. Our collaborative partners include Carrollton-Hollygrove Community Development Corporation, New Orleans Food & Farm Network, Tulane City Center, Trinity Christian Community, and the Master Gardeners of New Orleans.
OUR MISSION
Hollygrove Market and Farm exists to increase accessibility of fresh produce to Hollygrove, surrounding underserved neighborhoods, and all of New Orleans while promoting sustainability through support of local farmers and the local economy as well as acting as a demonstration site for environmentally sustainable practices.
THE FARM
In addition to supporting the development of community gardens and providing training programs, the farm serves as a demonstration site for visitors interested in adopting environmentally sustainable practices. Features such as composting, cistern irrigation, recycling, chicken coops, and sustainable gardening all serve this purpose and are vital components of the farm. The farm is also home to Grow Dat Youth Farm, an organization whose mission is to nurture a diverse group of young leaders through the meaningful work of growing food.
THE MARKET
HM&F has developed and operates a CSA-style cooperative and retail market. Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a way to buy local, seasonal food directly from a farmer. What makes us different is that we bring the farm to the table by making fresh produce available to the consumer without the consumer being required to buy shares in a farm.
At HM&F, in place of members buying shares from a single farm, we buy from a network or collective of small farms and urban growers throughout the region. Our sources consist of backyard growers, community gardens, urban micro-farms in New Orleans, and rural farms throughout southern Louisiana and Mississippi. For consumers, produce is available through the purchase of CSA-style box. Select produce and food items are also available for individual sale through our retail market.

Gelato vs. Ice Cream
Originating in 16th century Italy, gelato is a healthy alternative to ice cream. It¡¯s made with milk instead of cream and contains a smaller percentage of butterfat than ice cream. Yet gelato is thicker and richer because it contains less air and fillers. Its natural ingredients also provide protein, vitamins and calcium. Give gelato a try and choose a winner for yourself!
