Blueberry bushes have started to bloom and the bees are in them thick, doing what they do best. There is a bumble bee in the picture if you look close, it was hard to capture with the 20-30mph gust but I did my best! Hoping everything doesn't get too beat up in this wind. Planting more this week, seeding out okra, squash, cucs, and some basil. Warm weather is well received by all the plants, and the battle begins with the weeds as well! Enjoy your boxes, we love growing for you.

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.
