Baton Rouge, La. – The location of the Southern University Ag Center’s 3rd Campus Market on April 28, 2023 has been changed to the lawn of Pinkie Thrift Hall, on the Southern University campus.
The event will still operate from 9 a.m. – 12 p.m. as a traditional campus market while highlighting women in Agriculture and encouraging support for all farmers.
The market will be open to Southern University students, faculty, staff, and the community. There will be a free Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) Food giveaway consisting of fresh fruits and vegetables on a first-come, first-served basis. Participants will also be able to participate in hands-on demonstrations and purchase food items, customized products, and clothing from students in Southern University’s Nutrition, Apparel Merchandising and Textiles, and the Sisters in Christ Clubs.
Local women farmers and entrepreneurs will also sell jams, jellies, cakes, skincare products, cracklins, pork skins, pickled vegetables (orka, squash, eggs, asparagus), green beans, yard eggs, duck eggs, pralines, crawfish bread, and more during the event.
The Campus Market is sponsored by the Mary Bird Perkins Cancer Center, the Southern University System Foundation, and the Louisiana Department of Health.
