Natalie Faust Jones, a third generation strawberry farmer and star CCFM vendor, joins the morning news to talk about the State of Strawberries this season!
You can catch Faust Farms and their bounty of strawberries at the Thursday Mid-City Market! In addition to strawberries, they specialize in, cabbage, eggplant, cucumbers, bell peppers, and tomatoes, plus romaine lettuce and spring mix grown hydroponically! Faust Farms are a third-generation family-owned business, established in 1985. They carefully and tenderly care for their 60 acres of land in Amite, LA, and we're lucky to have them in our market.
