Figs are here!! About the only thing that I can think of that starts to produce and thrive in this humid heat is figs, and they are looking great this year. We will be harvesting daily to ensure the birds and squirrels don't eat them all. We do have some more squash and cucumbers on the way, hopefully soon, and we should start to see some okra in the next few weeks. We will have a bit of a gap on the bigger tomatoes, but cherries are still rockin. I will start working on the Fall farm plan very soon, even though we are still a bit far from seeing any cooler weather, I have to get seeds ordered, schedule amounts of each variety, and ground ready months before we can plant. We got lucky with the first hurricane that made landfall, prayers for those in Texas for sure, we have all been in their situation.

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.
