Be sure to stock up on roots, fresh p1 read more »
Winding Down
Hi folks,
The rain last week took a toll on our crops, particularly on the west bank, and we're anticipating an earlier end to the season than we originally thought.

We don't have exact dates yet, so please stay tuned for a forthcoming email in the next couple days. We'll be changing a couple things in our sched1 read more »
The Heat Is On
Hi all,
It seems like our remarkably mild spring has come to an end and the heat is here to stay. The good news is that this is a great time of year for local produce in Louisiana. All the summer fruiting veggies like cucumbers, peppers, and tomatoes are getting into full swing, but we still have g1 read more »
Eggplants are here!
Hi everyone!
The farm share is really starting to look like summer this week: eggplants, tomatoes (from Poché Family Farm), cukes, squash, peppers, and more. Our backs are starting to feel the strain of so much heavy produce, but we're not complaining! We're still getting plenty of beautiful1 read more »
