It has finally dried up enough for us to work some dirt, and hopefully get a planting of carrots in the ground. I know we won't have too much time before the rain returns so we are hustling to get it done. We did get almost all of the Kale, Chard, and Collard plants in the ground over the weekend, with the remainder to be planted soon. Now we are just waiting for that first cool front or even just some low humidity days to really push some of our Fall items into gear.

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.
