The first 2 planting of tomatoes are in the ground and with the high winds last week we went ahead and put stakes on them and tied them up. Only bad part of this is that the forecast is calling for 36 degrees tomorrow night and now we can not cover them in case of a frost! So cross your fingers for us please!! We are in the process of adding some more products that you may notice, trying to keep the varieties coming and supporting as many local business' as possible. Summer squash should be blooming in a week or so and we can't wait to start sharing with you!

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.
