I hope everyone had a great Mardi Gras, I can't believe it is March already. We got some new black plastic laid for all of our spring crops like tomatoes, squash, cucumbers, peppers, okra, and eggplant. Forecasts are not showing anymore freezes for a least 2 weeks, which means we will be planting out those crops to try and get a jump on Spring varieties. (knock on wood) Checking on garlic and spring onions today, thinking we should be close to start harvesting!

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.
