Finally getting some rain at the farm, so far just an ongoing sprinkle, which is great for us because we get some moisture in the dirt without any erosion! The picture is a plot of soybeans that we planted for a cover crop. Although I love soyboys and may pick a few if I get a chance, but the real plus is putting nutrients back into the soil! We have started picking Collard greens and Rainbow Chard, Tuscan and Curly Kale isn't far behind! Hope yall are doing well and as always we appreciate your support!

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.
