Do Your Holiday Shopping At These Lake Charles Farmers Markets
There's no doubt about it: there are significant benefits to eating organic foods, mainly because fewer chemicals and insecticides are used. However, the healthier choice comes with a higher price tag.
Fortunately for us in SWLA, residents can shop at several weekly farmers' markets. This means you can take advantage of homegrown fruits, veggies, breads, baked goods, local honey, jams, and spices. Even better, food isn't the only thing you'll find at a farmers market. With Christmas quickly approaching, you can find a one-of-a-kind gift or excellent stocking stuffers at one of the many markets in the area.
They are open throughout the week at various locations in Lake Charles, Sulphur, Westlake, and the surrounding areas. You could find gorgeous wood creations, handcrafted artwork, homemade goat's milk soaps, and other commodities like books, clothes, and hair bows. Here's a list of farmers markets in the Lake Charles area:
