The rainbow chard that we were able to cover is finally starting to get big enough again to harvest. This is one of my favorite things to grow (and eat) because of how beautiful it looks in field. The row covers prevented the cold from killing this plot, and now after a few weeks its back big enough to harvest some. We got our second to last planting of winter cole crops in the ground last week, so only one more before we will start to see some Spring crops going in. As soon as we get some dry ground we will be prepping dirt so we will be ready to plant asap.

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.
