We will be planting out some winter squash soon on this white plastic, (white reflects heat and keeps the dirt cooler, while black does the opposite) including butternut, delicata, acorn, spaghetti, and of course our Long Island Cheese Pumpkins! Everything has started to slow down on us with all the heat and consistent rainy days, but we are chuggin along trying to have the best variety we can. I have started on the Fall Farm Plan and we will be planting some of those items soon. I hope everyone had a great Independence Day.

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.
