The Lafayette Hub City Farmers Market opens in the Oil Center on Saturday, May 1 at the civilized hour of 8 a.m to noon.
The Gotreaux family organic farm will be there, offering snow peas, swiss chard, kale, eggs, fresh and smoked tilapia filets. Other vendors include Jim’s Country Pies, Ron and Rosanna Czarnecki’s granola, granola bars, and probiotic lacto fermented beverages, Tom Anger’s backyard gardener vegies and many others.
