We are finally harvesting some cantaloupes at the farm and we love it when they finally get sweet and ready. I just ate a half of one after taking the picture and it was great. I hope everyone has been staying cool with all this heat, it has been brutal on the farm in the afternoons. The only thing helping us lately has been the constant breeze and some cloud cover, if those weren't around I think we would have to work shorter days. I am hoping our heirloom tomatoes hit very soon and I apologize for long anticipated wait, the creoles have been great this year though.

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.
