lagniappe

At Provost Farm, the term lagniappe—a little something extra—beautifully reflects our purpose to go beyond the expected in serving our community.

Whether it’s providing additional resources for local farmers, offering hands-on workshops that connect generations to the land, or preserving the untold stories of Black sugarcane farmers, we strive to add that extra value to every effort.

Like the bonus harvest from a well-tended crop, our work embodies the spirit of lagniappe by cultivating opportunities, knowledge, and equity that enrich lives and strengthen our shared heritage.

According to the most recent U.S. Census, 18.6% of LOUISIANA’S residents live in poverty. At Provost Farm, we are committed to addressing this disparity by providing equitable access to resources, sustainable agricultural education, and community-driven initiatives that empower individuals and families to build a more resilient future.
