Summer squash is looking great and it should not be long until we start harvesting some. We have some cucumbers that are looking good as well, we should see those towards the end of April. Tomatoes, peppers, and eggplant are doing great in their first week in the ground. We will be planting more this week, along with some okra, cantaloupes, and watermelons. Strawberries are still going strong and we should start to see some blueberries in the next few weeks. I hope everyone has a great Easter!

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.
