We got a good planting in this weekend before all the rain and flooding from T.S. Nicholas. Way more rain than we needed but crops still look okay so I am not gonna harp on it! Last direct seed planting included carrots, tunips, radish, arugula, mizuna, and a few new varieties to try. New varieties don't always work out but every now and then we find something that grows well in our soil! I hope everyone is getting back to normal, whatever that may be these days. New on the list is apples and they are scrumptious!

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.
