Our first hard frost hit us on January 4th, wow, that is way later than normal. Everything seemed to hold up okay to it, just don't wanna see any low 20's or teens in the forecast! Onions are looking good and starting to grow as you can see in the picture, garlic is coming on as well. We have been cleaning up and cultivating weeds in our plots that are normally not here in the winter, but with all the warmer weather it has been a task to say the least. Few new items on the list for you all to try and we are pushing to bring ya more.

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.
