Summer squash and cucumbers are trying to make a come back, hoping they can beat the heat! We have more okra in the same boat but I think it will be okay, it tolerates the heat a lot better than the others. We got more Fall peppers and eggplant plants in the ground over the weekend, one more set of Fall tomatoes to go and we will be moving on to Winter crop plantings. I have been dreaming of a cool front, even though I know it will be a while, it will be welcomed with open arms from everyone out on the farm, including the plants!

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.
