Tailgates Don’t Grow Themselves—Louisiana Farmers Do
Before the roar of the crowd and the band on the field, Louisiana farmers are already hard at work — growing the food, raising the livestock, and harvesting the crops that make game day possible. From rice in your jambalaya to beef on your grill, every bite at your tailgate starts in a Louisiana field.
Rice
From flooded fields to your favorite tailgate recipes, Louisiana rice farmers make jambalaya, gumbo, and étouffée possible. Their harvest is the base of so many game day traditions.
Crawfish
Louisiana crawfish farmers put in the work months before football season so tail meat is ready for your étouffée, gumbo, and dips. Their catch brings a taste of Louisiana to your tailgate spread.
Beef
Louisiana cattle producers keep the grill fired up with burgers, steaks, and brisket. Their hard work in the pasture fuels your favorite game day bites.
Sugarcane
From the field to your glass, Louisiana sugarcane farmers are behind the sweetness in your tea, desserts, and sauces. They make sure tailgates taste like home.
Oysters
Louisiana oyster farmers and harvesters bring the briny, bold flavor that makes chargrilled, fried, and baked oysters a tailgate favorite. From Gulf waters to game day, they serve up a true taste of the coast.
Poultry
Wings, tenders, gumbo — Louisiana poultry farmers raise the chicken that’s always a crowd-pleaser. They work year-round so your tailgate menu never misses.
Corn
Louisiana corn farmers grow the grain that becomes feed for livestock and key ingredients in sauces, marinades, and drinks. Their harvest works behind the scenes to keep your tailgate stocked.
Soybeans
Louisiana soybeans help fry up your favorites and feed the livestock on your plate. Farmers turn their fields into flavor in more ways than one.
Shrimp
Louisiana shrimpers bring in the catch for po’boys, gumbo, and seafood dips. Their early mornings on the water bring big flavor to Saturday nights.
