Acadiana Lifestyle
Acadiana is home to a diverse farming community, ranging from small-scale operations on a few acres of land to family enterprises that span thousands of acres and multiple generations. Vegetables, fruit, cane, meat, seafood, flowers, herbs and honey, to name a few, grow abundantly here, thanks to hard working, local families.
While farmers have always been the lifeblood of our community – both as major contributors to the local economy and direct providers for our dinner tables – it’s sometimes difficult to know how best to encourage and promote them. We asked around and found several ways to do just that.
