We got all of our onion sets planted over Thanksgiving week, one thing I am thankful for is that these little guys don't mind a bit of frost and cold weather, because we also got our first freeze of the season! Onions are pretty tough plants, they can withstand temps in the low twenties believe it or not, they will overwinter with us and then we will start harvesting in the Spring. The frost did knock out the small remaining amounts of peppers and eggplants, but we were not harvesting much of those any how. Stay warm out there!

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.
