It won't be long and our strawberry plants will be in arriving and we will be getting them in the ground. With that said we will be working on getting sprinklers ready and in place as we have to use overhead irrigation for our strawberry plants, this keeps them nice and cool so they don't burn up with our hot temperatures. All of our braising greens are coming along and shouldn't be too much longer before we are able to start harvesting, with broccoli, cabbage, brussels, and cauliflower not too 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.
