We made it through the frost threat last week, I did see a small amount of frost on the ground but since our vulnerable plants are elevated on the row we were unscathed! The first blooms and fruit have started on our early summer squash, which means it wont be long before we are harvesting the first round, with cucumbers not far behind. I hope everyone had a good Easter, the weather sure was nice!

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.
