In Cajun-French, "la Vacherie" refers to "the cow pasture" as this area was high ground on the west bank of the Mississippi River used for cattle farming. The town of Vacherie, originally named Tabiscanja (long river view) by the Colapissa Indians, has also been known as St. Patrick and St. Philip over the years. Vacherie was a melange of cultures where the downriver Germans and the upriver Acadians blended to create a French speaking community in the heart of Creole Louisiana. As its early plantation economy developed, slaves from West Africa and the Carribbean contributed many of the lasting influences on the food traditions of the region. Sugar, indigo, cotton, soybeans, rice, tobacco, and many fruits and vegetables have been grown and some are still farmed there. Bound on the South by rich swamps surrounding Lac des Allemands, seafood and many forms of wild game are also plentiful. Nestled among the cane fields of St. James Parish, today the small community of Vacherie is home to historic plantation sites, and large extended families that thrive on the opportunity to share their cuisine of old recipes with those who visit.
