Moving Beyond Cancer in NOLA: Crescent City Farmers' Market "Pop Up" on April 26th from 8am-12pm

We are back for Round 2! On Sunday, April 26 we'll return to Parkway Bakery and Tavern for another drive thru, pickup market! Once again, this PRE-ORDER ONLY market will feature fruits and vegetables, meats, dairy and eggs, breads and baked goods, and a variety of artisanal prepared and ready to eat foods. This time around, we've developed an online platform to streamline the ordering process! Customers can order from all vendors in advance using the new CCFM online ordering system or by downloading the WhatsGood Marketplace app.

Just like the first event, this drive thru market will be pre-order only, and no items will be available on site for purchase. Pre-orders will be open from Wednesday, April 22 at 11 pm until Friday, April 24 at 11 pm. While we are working on many new efficiencies to expedite your market experience, we recommend placing a minimum $30 order to ensure your time involvement is worthwhile.

All items will then be prepared and individually packaged for pick up at the Sunday morning market. When you arrive to market on Sunday, you should be prepared to pop your trunks and drive through the lineup of vendors who will place the pre-ordered items in your trunks to facilitate our no-contact pick up system. Click here for a placard template to place on your windshields to identify yourself to vendors and expedite the pick up process. No printer? No problem! Just recreate by hand with a marker. Please be sure to have these placards placed on your windshield when you arrive at the market.

On Sunday, market staff will be on hand to guide traffic flow, assist vendors with identifying upcoming customers, and ensure all necessary safety precautions are taken including all staff and vendors wearing protective masks and sanitizing hands between each and every transaction.

Purchases can also be made using SNAP benefits. For SNAP purchases, shoppers should call Market Umbrella staff at (504) 495-1459 after creating a customer account for SNAP verification. SNAP benefit recipients can also utilize Market Umbrella’s Market Match program, which matches SNAP purchases dollar for dollar, up to $20, so don’t forget to add those fruits, veggies, and food bearing plant starts to your cart! For $20, SNAP shoppers can receive $40 worth of produce using Market Match. This program doubles the buying power of vulnerable shoppers, giving them a little extra help putting healthy food on the table, and is funded through generous donations.

The market will take place at Parkway Bakery and Tavern at 538 Hagan Avenue. You should enter and exit on Lafitte Street to maintain the flow of traffic. Please approach the location from Jefferson Davis Parkway. Market Umbrella staff members will be assisting drivers to help the line run smoothly.
