Vendors
Kirby Jones
Kirby Jones, a former vendor with the markets’ Green Plate Special, is excited to join the Crescent City Farmers Market as a full-time vendor at the Tuesday Uptown Market serving up Creole coffee cold brew blends, freshly roasted coffee beans, and her special king cakes. What started out as a bike cafe popup at Martin’s Wine Cellar has bloomed into a flourishing business for the mother of two. With deep roots in New Orleans Creole culture dating back to the 1800s, Kirby first fell in love with coffee when her grandmother, who lived across the street from the sugarcane fields in Lutcher, LA, handed her a cup of coffee and bunny bread to dip in it. Now, Kirby is slated to open up the newest addition of La Vie En Rose in the CBD on February 14th, 2022. You can find her at the Tuesday Market starting in March.
