I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! We sure are thankful for all of your support, without yall we would have had to shut the farm down! We got plenty of rain after the holiday and its looking like we will be getting our first freeze of the season next week. We will be covering as much as we can on Monday, mainly small/young plants because they are the most vulnerable. This also means we will lose tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, okra, and most flowers. (Because these crops are older and about played out we won't cover them, if my tomatoes were in better shape they would be the first thing covered!) I feel like we made good run this year before losing these things, sometimes we get frost in September/October! We should be picking a few beets (Chioggia or Candy Striped pictured) towards the end of next week!

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.
