Support Local Farmers and Businesses
A highlight of the campaign is the emphasis on supporting local farmers and businesses. Visitors can indulge in delicious meals at our renowned restaurants, which pride themselves on using locally sourced ingredients.

This initiative not only supports the local economy but also promotes sustainable practices and offers visitors a true taste of West Feliciana Parish.
Campaign Highlights
The Live Like a Local Campaign will kick-off at the annual Pop & Shop event on August 24th. Pop & Shop is a great way to get a jump start on the campaign. Participants will receive a “Live Like a Local Passport” which will allow them to gain stamps at local businesses and attractions for a chance to be entered in to a drawing for door prizes at the end of the campaign.
