OKRA coming in with the heat wave, one plant that we grow that doesn't seem to mind the heat! We are getting some rain at the farm finally, it has been really dry so i am not complaining, long as it stops soon. Too much rain with tomatoes being so close causes them to bust, and lose flavor. I hope to have some eggplant and tomatoes for you all very soon, we are a bit behind this year but I promise they are coming. Getting used to the new Harvie system now so I hope everyone has been doing okay with it. If you ever need help or are not happy with anything please feel free to reach out, and as always, thank you for supporting not only our farm, but other local farms and producers we partner with.

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.
