Strawberry plants are starting to grow some, they really look rough when you first plant them. To the point where it makes me nervous about whether they will take or not, but they look great and I hope we will see some before Christmas. The weather we are having lately is ideal for everything we have planted, and I hope to see more of it because all of our crops are really thriving in it. Shallots are getting close, along with some cabbage and broccoli. Before we know it Thanksgiving will be here and I am hoping we have all the popular varieties available. One negative impact with this cooler weather is that laying hens begin to molt and spend most of their energy on growing new feathers instead of producing eggs, so we are seeing a shortage. (Hopefully not for long) As always, eat your veggies and thanks for the support!

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.
