It won't be too much longer before we start seeding carrots and a few other root crops out in the fields. This is a picture from a few years back but as you can see the Red seeder makes it much easier on us for planting. After the seeds are sown we will put drip tape out and hope for the best, one of my favorite things to grow and harvest. Winter squashes will be going in the ground this week, as well as sending some seeds off to the nursery to get started. Fall will be here before ya know it!

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.
