Southern Produce Co. is a local business that has been serving the greater Baton Rouge area for years, offering a wide variety of fresh produce and local products. Customers appreciate the great prices and the ability to find unique items like Washington parish watermelons. However, some have noted that the quality of the produce can be affected by the hot weather, with wilted or less than perfect items at times.
The employees are reported to be helpful and friendly, though the heat can be a challenge, with one customer almost passing out due to the lack of cooling measures. The owner has been criticized for not providing better working conditions for the staff. Despite these issues, many customers remain loyal to Southern Produce Co., citing its unbeatable selection and the value it provides.
Some produce looks old. Good prices. Very nice people!

I have been a few time now and Love it! Great fresh produce, yummy Boudin, and Jennifer is so sweet and patient. Will definitely be back!

Huge selection of fruits, vegetables and canned/jarred goods. While the selection was great, we had some less than stellar strawberries. Probably worth a stop just to see what they have, but maybe average tasting fruit.
