Red Stick Farmers Market - Tuesday Seasonal

Red Stick Farmers Market’s Tuesday stop at the East Baton Rouge Parish Library on Goodwood Boulevard connects a neighborhood market day with BREADA’s wider food access work, including collaboration with the Louisiana Legislature on “Greaux the Good”. This is the Tuesday seasonal edition of the Red Stick Farmers Market in Baton Rouge, held at 7711 Goodwood Blvd. at the library location. The mix leans practical for a weekday shop: seasonal produce, breads, seafood, meats, plants, dairy, and prepared foods all appear in the current vendor roster.

Why it matters locally

The Red Stick Farmers Market is a producer-only market, meaning the produce sold under a farmer’s tent was grown on that farm. That matters in Baton Rouge because the market emphasizes seasonal produce native to Louisiana, with harvest selection changing through the year rather than relying on imported tropical fruit. BREADA also ties the market to broader local food policy work through its collaboration with the Louisiana Legislature on “Greaux the Good”. Food access is part of the market’s local role too: SNAP Match has long been offered at the Red Stick Farmers Market, supported by Louisiana Healthcare Connections.

What you'll find there

The Tuesday lineup covers dinner ingredients, pantry staples, and a few ready-to-eat options in one stop. Bread, seafood, meats, dairy, flowers, seedlings, sweets, and cold drinks all appear alongside seasonal produce, so the market reads as a weekday provisioning market rather than a narrow specialty stop.

Know before you go

No dogs are allowed at this market, a detail that can change plans before you head to the library site. The Tuesday market is held at the EBRP Library, 7711 Goodwood Blvd., also identified as The Main Library at Goodwood. Restrooms are not available on the market details provided. Because this is a producer-only market and harvest selection varies with the season, the exact produce mix changes through the year. Farmers often sell out by the end of the market, so earlier shopping gives you a wider selection.

SNAP/EBT is accepted at Red Stick Farmers Market. Customers can match up to $40 in SNAP purchases at BREADA’s markets, and SNAP Match has long been offered at the Red Stick Farmers Market through sponsorship from Louisiana Healthcare Connections.
