Cucumbers are coming in, we haven't had the explosion of cucs yet but we are picking a good bit right now. Squash is still booming in production and we are starting to see some blooms on peppers, eggplant, and tomatoes. Carrots are trying to come back and I am hoping we will be able to pick some more before it gets too hot. Still waiting on blueberries, which we lost our early varieties in that last freeze event, so the later varieties are coming but taking their time it seems.

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.
