We have 4 beautiful rows of okra plants that are very close to starting production, as soon as they start blooming we will get in there and begin to harvest, hopefully in a week or so. We prepped ground for Fall plants all weekend dodging the scattered showers best we could. It sure gets muggy out after those light rains but the cloud cover is appreciated. Patently waiting for that first "cool" morning even though I know we have a bit of time!

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.
