The Farm of Cultural Crossroads has issued a statement to clarify recent changes regarding the local Farmer’s Market and upcoming fall events at The Farm.
In a social media post, the organization confirmed that its Fall Farm Fresh Food Market is not moving to a new location but that the remaining October markets have been canceled. The announcement follows confusion surrounding the Minden Farmer’s Market’s move to the Historic Main Street District.
“The Farm of Cultural Crossroads is not the same organization as Moore Hill Farm & Garden,” the post stated. “The ‘Farm’ moniker and our recent partnership may be causing some confusion.”
According to the post, the 2025 Farmer’s Market was a joint effort between The Farm of Cultural Crossroads, Parish Meat Processing, and Moore Hill Farm & Garden. Cultural Crossroads hosted and coordinated the event, while partner vendors paid a 10 percent commission on sales to help keep participation affordable. All proceeds supported the nonprofit’s general operations, which are volunteer-run and funded through grants and sponsorships.
Attendance, however, did not meet expectations, and Moore Hill Farm & Garden has since decided to end its partnership with Cultural Crossroads. “Many of our 2025 vendors have decided to make the move with them,” the post said. “We were able to host tons of amazing vendors along the way. We wish them all the best in their continued endeavors with Minden Main Street District’s support.”
Cultural Crossroads also emphasized that the Minden Makers Fair remains at The Farm and has not been relocated. The fair, the group’s largest annual fundraiser, will be held Saturday, November 1, from 11 AM to 4 PM, featuring more than 50 makers, bakers, and artisans from across the tri-state area. Demonstrations will include pottery throwing, glass blowing, and blacksmithing.
Organizers are encouraging visitors to wear Halloween costumes and enjoy family-friendly fun, as all vendors will have candy for children.
The Farm’s Second Sunday Workshop will follow on November 9, free for Cultural Crossroads members. Memberships are $30 per year and help support programs such as Art at the Farm, funded by the Louisiana Division of the Arts and the Shreveport Regional Arts Council.
“We’re better together, so please consider supporting as many events throughout our community as you have time for,” the organization shared. “November is a super busy month, and we love to see it.”
