Braising greens are loving this weather, along with all of our other winter crops. I am hoping to start harvesting some greens in a week or two! That will include Rainbow Chard, Tuscan & Curly Kale, Collard greens, and possibly some mustard greens. Sweet potatoes should not be too far off either, I still can't believe it is already October! Strawberry plants going in this week, no rain in the near forecast so we will be running sprinklers on them everyday until they start to take. Some other winter squashes should start popping in to the harvest list next week as well.

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.
