Edgar’s EagleThank you for helping us raise $3,391 for Edgar Mendez! Over the past month, Edgar has started up his very own small business, making eagle pictures. He’s super excited about sharing his pictures with his classmates, friends, and community and to have something to entertain him while he undergoes dialysis. You too can have your very own Edgar Eagle original for just $5 and can pick it up at his mom’s market tent, Isabel’s Tamales & Produce. Contact below. Donations are still being accepted for Edgar, and we ask that you share this with anyone you may know who is able and willing to donate a kidney or donate to help with medical expenses.

Vendor of the Week:Anna Marie SeafoodAs a third-generation fisherman, Lance Nacio, owner of Anna Marie Seafood, is proud to have served the Crescent City farmers market community for the last 20 years. Building a legacy where tradition meets innovation, Anna Marie has been in operation since 1997 and has since then prioritized producing “good, clean, and wholesome food”. Lance grew up an hour outside the city in Lafourche Parish, where he learned from his grandfather and father how to make a living from the land and sustainably fish and hunt. Since then, Lance has made it his lifelong goal to produce premium seafood, and now his nephew, Lane, joins in his family’s legacy. Anna Marie, named after Lance’s two daughters, offers a wide variety of products, including snapper, grouper, shrimp, and now, tenderized alligator meat! Find Anna Marie Seafood weekly at the Sunday City Park market! |
