Our strawberry plants are starting to bloom and with the cold coming weather coming in we will be putting the covers over them to protect the blooms from possible frost. If we didn't cover then the blooms would be frost burned and they would fall off the plants, which we definitely don't want to happen! I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving break, I know I sure enjoyed the short break I got! Now we are back at it and working ground to get more plantings in while the dirt has good moisture. Stay tuned for a few new items next week and don't forget to check on Farm Fresh Fridays on Instagram page!

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.
