We are covered up in cherry tomatoes at the moment, which is why we are going to start putting them in quart containers for everyone. The bigger tomatoes have really taken a hit from the heat, but most of our cherry varieties haven't been bothered by it. Looking like we are going to start getting those frequent rains, which can be frustrating because we can't get into the fields while they are muddy, but that's part of farming and we will keep on. At least the temps should not be as high with the rain!

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.
