We got our first round of strawberries in last week and we have already started planting them, once we get them planted the sprinklers come on and we soak them in really good! We should hopefully start to harvest a few before Christmas, fingers crossed. Broccoli and cauliflower plants are looking good and I hope to see them added to the list soon, along with some other greens and hopefully some root crops soon. It has really cooled off at the farm, this morning it was 47 on my way into work. I hope everyone gets to enjoy these beautiful days outside, as we all know we may not have too many of them.

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.
