Sweet peppers are starting to come in, they don't mind the heat. We finally got some rain this past weekend, perfect amount actually, but this heat has dried the mud and we are back in the dust. Salad Days is still struggling with the heat wave so no salad mix yet, hoping everyone has been making cucumber and tomato salads like I have been, even adding peaches to some, simple and talk about good. We have been working dirt to try and get the fields ready for fall plantings, I am ordering seeds next week! Stay Cooooool

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.
