FOR LOCAL PEOPLE BY LOCAL PEOPLE.

One of the things we are known best for:

ORANGES

If you’ve ever eaten a South Plaquemines orange, you know they just taste better. There aren’t many orange trees left since Katrina, but there are a few. Growers are preparing to replant for the upcoming growing season. So, in a few years we will be back in business.

We are going around passing out sign-up

flyers to all our local growers. None returned yet.
