Farm Happenings at River Queen Greens
Farm Shares just got a little sweeter
Did you know that the term "Raw Unfiltered" for honey is not regulated and many grocery stores carry honey that's labeled as such but is actually pasteurized? We're pleased to now have local actually raw unfiltered honey available from Powers Apiary, a beekeeper based at Sugar Roots Farm, a neighbo1 read more »
Week Fifteen Milestone
This is the first week we're not doing any greenhouse seeding. All the summer crops are in the ground or will be soon. We're gradually planting out the contents of the greenhouse - still a few secessions of hot peppers, cukes and squash, and a few other items that will be the last things we harvest1 read more »
Veg Fest
Well, Jazz Fest isn't happening this weekend, but Veg Fest keeps on rolling. Believe it or not, there are only five weeks left in our scheduled spring season. And we'll keep you posted about what happens in June. There will be veggies for you, we're just not sure yet if we're extending the share th1 read more »
When It Rains It Pours
SO MUCH RAIN! While Kentucky St seems to be recovering well, we're still sloshing through puddles and mud pits on the west bank and may end up losing a lot of crops as the water table can take a long time to recede out there. Some things that look fine right now are likely to not be able to get eno1 read more »
Ready for Sunshine!
We've been wading through puddles, huddling under shelter waiting out lightning strikes, and staring at our weather apps all week, and we're about ready to be done with it. Fortunately, it's looking like we'll catch a break from all the rain next week and we'll hope our fields can recover from the1 read more »
Amazing Veggies plus Momma D's Pickles and Jam!
April is a great month for growing vegetables here in New Orleans, and we've been harvesting like crazy at the farm. We're loving the variety of greens, roots, herbs, peas, squash and more that's coming off our fields. This is the season we've been waiting for, and it's not disappointing. Compostel1 read more »
Peak Strawberries (and the last days of peas)
We're getting close to the end of the peas - snow peas pretty much peaked this week and we're just about out of sugar snaps - but we're welcoming the arrival of summer squash, which liked the rain a couple nights ago. The fields are looking plenty soaked right now, and there's a lot more rain in th1 read more »
Herb City
Our Kentucky St farm is overflowing with beautiful greens and herbs right now. It's hard to believe that in as little as a couple weeks, some of it will be a construction site for a new home the landlord is building. Fortunately, the construction is taking place on the far end of the property, away1 read more »
Lettuce Lettuce Lettuce
I don't know what to say about this weather we're having (hot? cold? wet? dry?), but I do know what to say about the lettuce we've got growing in our fields right now: hot dang. This mixed lettuce is so dreamy, and it's grown here in the Bywater.
