Fresh Pickin’s Market Fruit & Vegs

This is my number on go to spot for all fruit and vegetable oh and they have bottled Zea Thai Rib sauce in a bottle. Perfect for a veggi stir fry!!!

We have visited here more than a few times and had mostly successful visits in the past but that ended on our last visit recently.
Yes we realize it is winter but the produce being sold should still be of decent quality or not for sale.
Avocados and Minneolas were but two of the items we purchased that were inedible. Avocados were dark brown inside despite not being mushy yet and the Minneolas tasted like pulp with no flavor at all. Issue with both is that we picked the ones in both cases that seemed to be of the best quality ripeness wise.
I am sure they have not seen the last of us but throwing away food and money is not on our list of desired outcomes, even in the off season although this is prime time for Minneolas.

I bought white peaches, Alabama peaches, and nectarines worth about $ 10.
Without an exception of one fruit, every single fruit was mushy…
Very disappointed.

With early morning hours and a wide variety of produce this location is perfect for picking up small amounts of produce, groceries and boxed goods. The prices are phenomenal. For $ 20 you’ll leave with more than you desired. Always fresh!

FRESH and pretty affordable. Two of my favorite combinations. They were busy yet everything was neat and well stocked. I didn’t have time to search through the frozen section, but it definitely had some goodies in there. All the fruit looked YUMMY. Bring your own bags.

I love this produce market and would visit more if it were closer. The people are always friendly and helpful, the products are fresh and well organized and the frozen section is awesome. I would like to see more organic produce offered here but the products they do offer really live up to the name «Fresh Pickins».

Love this place! Wide selection of produce and great prices. Other produce markets in Baton Rouge don’t compare.

Good fresh produce at good prices. I try to come here whenever possible because they always have really good produce here and the staff is always nice and helpful. I’ve never had a bad experience here. I’ve never even found a rotten piece of fruit/​vegetable in the displays like I do when I go to Wal-​Mart, Albertsons or Winn Dixie. I’m pretty sure they have an employee get the rotten fruit/​veggies out before it rots the rest of the produce. They also have a really delicious selection of cheeses like Blueberry Cheddar and Mediterranean Cheddar that I haven’t found anywhere else. Besides that, they also sell Honey with the honeycomb in it, lots of frozen veggies, boiled peanuts, cracklins and they also have several different kinds of fruit trees out front. If you’re ever driving by its definitely worth a look.

Produce and selection are great soooo need to work on customer service
I was waiting in a long line and one girl was just leaning on the counter not helping they do not greet you or smile the people on the floor dont ask if you need help I will be taking my business back to perkins rd

Love this produce stand! They seem to hand pick the best quality fruits, vegetables, dried snacks, local business favorite items, etc. they always have a very large selection and obviously take pride with their displays because it seems nothing is ever out of place. I love their huge supply of frozen vegetables, frozen fried goodies like hush puppies and okra, and fruits. You can get large to moderate quantities for great prices. I was so excited to find the huge selection of dried nuts, fruit, and veggie snacks today, which will be perfect on the go snacks to stash in the car for myself and my kiddos. Also, I don’t wanna forget that the checkout process is always quick too with lots of workers who have always been nothing but nice and professional. I’m making a plan to work Fresh Pickins into my weekly routine :-)

I love getting fresh produce here!

I’ve seen this place recently on my trips to and from a new job. I finally got to pop in there to see what they had. I found a treasure trove of fresh veggies, frozen seasoning blends and lots of dry seasonings, jellies, jams, preserves, pickled items and much, much more! I wasn’t going straight home, otherwise they would have lost a few pounds of delicious Fresh veggies, raw nuts and cane syrup. The next time I am on my way home from work, they will get a visit from me!

Fresh vegetables and fruit at reasonable prices… in many cases less than the supermarket. They also have a variety of frozen items, sauces, pastas, breads, etc.

This place is the best, it’s a must visit. The fruit and veggie are second to none. You get friendly service and someone is always ready to help and answer question !

Skip the big box stores for your produce– go to Fresh Pickins!
I love the Fresh Pickin’s produce stand on Coursey Blvd. in Baton Rouge. They have a great selection of in-​season fruits and vegtables, along with a few pre-​made and packaged items like jams, jellies, chopped frozen vegetables, ready-​to-​bake frozen pies, ice cream, tortillas and salsa. And, best of all, their prices are well below that of regular grocery and big-​box stores.

As with any farm stand or market, you have to pick your produce based on looks. Sometimes the apples don’t look great, so I go for oranges. If I don’t like the Romain that day, I’ll go for the bib lettuce. This is how I approach any produce purchase (whole foods, albertson’s, target, etc).
That being said, this place is the jam! After relocating from the east coast, I was so pleased to see an array of local products I had never heard of (crawfish jelly!?) made by local companies. They have an decent freezer section full of fresh-​frozen veg presumably made in store. The bulk nuts are a nice surprise. I can get in and out of here in five minutes if I need to.
Overall, worth the stop.

Made a stop here a few weeks back with my sister cause she was looking for a certain type of flat pumpkin… at that point in time in my life I never realized there was such a thing as a «flat» pumpkin…
Any way this Farmer’s Market didn’t have what was being searched fro but by God they had everything else!!! Fresh fruits and vegetables every where. They also had packaged goods of the organic variety… I mean there was so much there I really couldn’t comprehend it all…
One thing I really focused on was a big table/​bin of «green» peanuts!!! I hadn’t had boiled peanuts in forever… issues and life conspired against me let’s say… anyway I bought 3.5 lbs of them, took ‘em home and the next day put ‘em in the crockpot and 7 hours later had some great boiled peanuts!!!
Sorry, off the point there… all I’m saying is if you are in the need or want for some outstanding fresh veggies and fruit this definitely needs to a «must» stop on your buying trip!!!

Never had a problem with moldy veggies or illegal food substances here. I absolutely love their selection of fruits, veggies and pre-​packaged sauces, jams jellies, etc. I have tried their gumbo and étouffée sauces so far, and they have been awesome. Their frozen biscuits are also a delicious breakfast option. Love that the prices are so affordable!

I’m not an expert on fruits and vegetables but I was pleased with the selection. Also happy to give my money to this place vs a chain like Walmart or Albertson’s. Prices were reasonable to me. I spent $ 14 and got apples, butternut squash, tomatoes, asian pears, eggs, greens, and militons (I guess thats how u spell it… it’s my husbands thing… not even sure what they are). Anyway, to me thats alot for 14 bucks.
I also really liked shopping outdoors. There was this one cute little bird that kept hopping up to the grapes and stealing one everyonce in a while. I kept laughing.
Staff is nice too…

When I first started coming here, they were great — see my previous review. However, I have had some inexcusable produce from them. Namely, I had a head of lettuce that was moldy inside and I have had many many fruits that were inedible.
I still shop here, but I have to withdraw my 5-​star review.
