We're Lindsay, Adam, Penny and Ringo. Lindsay and Penny are fifth and sixth generation New Orleanians. Adam moved down to New Orleans in 2014 from Iowa to get away from the winters and eat better food. RIngo is a dog. Lindsay started The Okra Inn in 2014 and it has grown into a family business with two locations.
Formerly Lindsay co-owned a wetlands educational tour company called Louisiana Lost Lands Tours--which takes guests into the wetlands on kayaks and motor boats to teach them about coastal erosion and show them the beauty of the coast.
Adam's resume is one of the most interesting around. He is a former high school English teacher, over the road truck driver, union organizer, and relay assistant for the deaf. He enjoys reading, playing too many hours of computer games, watching sports and cooking very delicious food.
The Okra Inn isn't your average listing. It's a cozy lodge, providing a great spot for travelers to rest after exploring our amazing City. We also work with local artists to have their art on display to increase their exposure. And The Okra Inn is a work in progress- trying to figure out the logistics of becoming a greater resource to the community.
Thanks for looking us up. If you'd like more information, shoot a message.
We look forward to having you!
Lindsay, Adam, Penny & Ringo
