The rain has showed up at the farm, which we did need some so I can't complain too much. The picture is some of the plastic we laid last week, too much rain and we will have to throw dirt back on the edges so it stays put! The other part of the picture is me picking a few carrots in the rain to check their size, they pull out of the ground much easier when its wet. Thinking they need about another week or two and we will start to harvest some for our members. We are planting squash/cucumbers by seed this week in hopes to get some out earlier than normal. Eat your veggies!

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.
