Jeff Davis Parish

Have you been dreaming of a place to visit that can fill your senses with experiences that are real and not manufactured? Well, wake up, you found it.  Midway between Houston and New Orleans is a quiet corner of Louisiana where the music is sweeter, the colors are brighter, the birds are more numerous, the food is more savory, the shopping is more unusual, the museums are more interesting, the festival are more fun, the tours are varied and the people are more interesting.  Jeff Davis Parish is where you can not only taste great food, you can see where it comes from.  Our Crawfish Farm Tours will take you pondside where you can see and feel the elements that create such a unique and tasty little crustacean.  Learn how they have made their way onto tables at great restaurants all over the country.  You can get crawfish served in a lot of places.  But you cannot get them fresher than here.  They’re big and going fast… you better get in line before they’re all gone!  But don’t worry, we’ll catch some more tomorrow.
