Figue Envie
Mandy and Byron met while serving in Mali as agricultural volunteers in the Peace Corp. Now the husband and wife are teachers in New Orleans, but they spend their summer vacations connecting with their farming roots. After tending to fig trees on family land since 2006, they recently purchased a new plot which has allowed them to quadruple their production capability. Be sure to try their fresh figs and delicious preserves before the short and sweet fig season comes to close!
