Cucumbers are here, and boy are they producing! Squash starting to come in as well, and we should start to see some peppers and eggplant in a few weeks. It has definitely warmed up a good bit on the farm, and it is looking like the near future will be hotter than this past week. One positive is that means we are getting closer to picking some tomatoes! My mouth is watering thinking about a heirloom tomato BLT. Also on the horizon we will start to see some blueberries, and sadly, strawberries will start to fade out. I hope everyone had a great Mother's Day.

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.
