A fresh planting that we were able to get in before the rain. We got arugula, radishes, turnips, carrots and some beets in the ground. Hoping for a quick germination and speedy growing as everything that we had like this was knocked back or killed by the cold last month. Weather is by far the trickiest part of farming! We have some beautiful blood oranges from Plaq parish that are delicious. Hoping to be back in the strawberry game next week as they have slowed way down with all the rain. Salad mix is back for now, I know you all have missed it.

The farm not only grows multiple varieties of over 30 types of vegetables, but in recent years has added fruit trees and flowers.
