We dried out from all the rain last week, just in time for another round of wet weather. Bell peppers are getting very close and eggplant is not far behind, should see some next week. We are swimming in cucumbers at the moment, but summer squash was knocked back pretty hard. Strawberries are done for the season and just as quick as they are leaving, peaches have started coming in!! Tomatoes are looking good but not turning just yet, and okra is on the horizon as well. At least it hasn't been too hot yet, you will notice we added a few other products this week. Stay dry out there!

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.
