We made it through the storm pretty much unscathed, we did get a good bit of rain and lost power for a day or so but I am thankful it wasn't way worse. Fall crops are in the ground and they are looking great and enjoying the cool mornings and warmer afternoons. I don't know if anyone has had citrus on their mind lately but I have been thinking about it for 2 weeks or so, it shouldn't be too much longer until we see the first satsumas arrive. Some of the winter squashes have been harvested and will be available, with Delicata and pumpkins not far behind.

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.
