Our pumpkins and other winter squash are coming along, they aren't really enjoying this 2nd summer we are having now but they look good considering. Pictured is a new variety we are trying call Jester squash, its similar to delicata but supposedly even better tasting! We will find out soon enough. Still transitioning some but we are planting everything we can and hoping that cool weather comes back soon. No rain in the near forecast so that is a plus, strawberry plants will be going in the ground next week.

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.
