It is all coming in now! Cherry tomatoes and eggplant have arrived in a big way, cantaloupes as well. It has been a scorcher out since that last "cool front" came through, which I am not complaining about bc it was a bit nicer, but whoooo has it been hot this week. We are still out in the fields, picking and also planting, trying to stay ahead of it. We are already prepping ground for fall plantings and battling to keep weeds turned under. Still waiting on a few other varieties to come in that shouldn't be much longer, so hang in there with us!

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.
