Cherry tomatoes are starting to ripen, I am thinking we will be into them heavy next week and they will start to go into your boxes! Heirlooms and slicers aren't too far behind, and we started picking peppers over the weekend. Having some hot weather lately but the cloud cover and light breezes have made it tolerable in the fields. We will start planting everything on white mulch from now on because of the heat, it is crazy how much it really helps. I hope everyone had a great Memorial Day weekend!

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.
