There are still a few spots available at the field to table dinners on the 26th & 27th of August, if any of you are interested just call the Lodge at (985) 747-0310. We have finally dried up enough at the farm to start working some dirt and getting it ready for direct seed plantings of root crops. We will be seeding out carrots, turnips, radishes, kale, chard, collards, mustards, beets, and a few other things in hopes that this heat wave is almost over. It is always a bit of a gamble planting this early bc summer weeds/grass could still be an issue, if we get rain consistently and can not get a tractor in the fields, it makes it almost impossible to grow these varieties. Most of the ones I mentioned are 50-75 day crops so that is why we try to get a jump on them, so cross ya fingers!

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.
