Looking like we are going to have some cold weather moving in and possibly sticking around for a while. We have been stretching out our cloth covers and filling sandbags to get ready for it! One of the things that I try to do is get the 4 to 5 plantings of braising greens(Kale/Chard/Collards) big enough to last us through these cold spells, where we don't get much good grow back weather. It is a battle but I think we are in good shape this season, can't believe 2023 is almost here. I hope to be adding some new items next week to the list.

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.
