Strawberries are coming in great at the moment, we picked about 25 flats over the weekend. The other thing I noticed over the weekend was our blueberry bushes are starting to bloom and they seem thicker than ever, so hopefully we will have a great season. We are ready to start planting some Spring crops, all we are waiting on now is for the plants to show up from the nursery. Looking like we will see a few cooler nights but nothing that looks like we could get a frost yet, fingers crossed we won't have that mid to late March frost!

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.
