We are continuing to gear up for the Fall/Winter season! In the picture you can see a before and after we laid some plastic mulch. We use white plastic this time of year to reflect the sunlight and keep the dirt a little bit cooler, which really helps with young transplants. We will be planting Broccoli, Cabbage, Cauliflower, and some braising greens in this particular plot! I hope everyone is enjoying their boxes and doing well!

About the farm
Covey Rise Farms is located in Husser, LA just north of New Orleans in central Tangipahoa Parish and is part of the Covey Rise Sportsman's Retreat. The farm started growing vegetables on 10 acres in 2009 and has expanded to over 60 acres at present. The farm not only grows multiple varieties of over 30 types of vegetables, but in recent years has added fruit trees and flowers. Our produce is enjoyed at various types of restaurants in New Orleans and surrounding areas, from the finest restaurants to quaint neighborhood cafes and everything in between and by our local produce/CSA members.
