We finally got some rain, it wasn't a ton but we will take what we can get. Now we are seeing some drier air which has made the mornings much nicer. We got more plants in the ground over the weekend and we are planning to try and seed some turnips, radish, carrots, and a few other varieties this week. Braising greens are looking good in the field, hoping we will start to harvest those in 3-4 weeks! I am also working on a plan for a few CSA days at the farm where members can come out and see what we do, so keep your eyes peeled for that email.

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.
