About Ruston Farmers Market: The Ruston Farmers Market has been a cornerstone of the community for 16 years, offering exclusively Louisiana-grown and produced products. Since its inception by dedicated volunteers in May 2008, the market has grown into a premier destination in Ruston. Operated by North Louisiana Farm Fresh Inc. (NLFF), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit since 2014, the market moved to its current covered location in 2015 and has been operating year-round since 2020, with annual sales reaching nearly $400,000. This year, we opened The Drew Jones Teaching Kitchen and now offer cooking classes each week.
The mission of NLFF is to provide direct producer-to-consumer sales opportunities, support the development of a local food network, and conduct educational outreach of sustainable agriculture, health, and nutrition throughout North Louisiana.
