Happy New Year to everyone! I know everyone is glad to put 2020 behind them, lets hope 2021 is a much better year for all! The picture is some Kohlrabi (Green and Purple) that we are starting to harvest. It is considered a superfood (nutrient-rich food beneficial for health and well-being) that is in the brassica family of vegetables, cousin to broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, mustards, etc. Kohlrabi is an excellent source of Vitamin C and also know to boost your immune system, which we could all benefit from these days! Most of the recipes I have used call for it to be shaved and added to a salad or coleslaw, I have only eaten it raw but it can be cooked as well. I hope everyone stays healthy and happy in this new year!

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.
