Our Fall tomato crop has been sub par this year, crazy to think about last years crop being 2 feet taller than me and just as healthy and productive as you could ask for. Not so much the case for this year but that is how it goes with farming sometimes, all we can do is harvest what is there and move on. Satsumas have finally arrived, better late than never I guess! We got another planting of carrots and a few other things in the ground last week, despite being so dry in the fields. I hope to see some Broccoli, cauliflower, and brussels soon!

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.
