FINALLY!! We are finally picking some carrots! One of my favorite crops to eat for sure, but also one of the hardest crops to grow! The hardest part about growing carrots (for me anyway) is getting them to germinate and have a good stand in each plot. Soil temperatures need to be in the 60 to 75 degree range for best results, but when the soil is on the warm side you also battle the weeds, which can shade out the carrots and make it a real pain to harvest. I hope everyone enjoys them and the rest of your items!

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.
