Satsuma's have started and even though they are still green on the outside, boy are they sweet! I always love when citrus season starts, and how about the wonderful weather we have been getting. It has been a bit dry and very dusty but the temperature and low humidity have been awesome. We are supposed to get some rain this week though, which will hopefully give us an opportunity to plant more root crops like turnips, beets, carrots, and radish. Broccoli and cauliflower are not too far away, braising greens getting close as well. Eat your veggies!

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.
