Farm Happenings at River Queen Greens
Eating Local in June!
Hi everyone,
We're starting up the final stretch of our spring Farm Share, with five more weeks added as of Friday. For the last ten years, June has been Eat Local Challenge month in New Orleans. All in-person events are cancelled this year, but luckily for you, you have plenty of local food coming1 read more »
June, Here We Come
This week, we're bringing you greens and summer crops (so many pickling cukes!), and the announcement that we'll be extending our farm share into June! We don't have exact dates yet, so please stay tuned for a forthcoming email in the next couple days. We'll be changing a couple things in our sched1 read more »
The Heat Is On
Hi all,
It seems like our remarkably mild spring has come to an end and the heat is here to stay. The good news is that this is a great time of year for local produce in Louisiana.

Into the Extended Season
Hi all,
We are now onto the extended season for our farm share, which will likely extend again into June. Our weekly bin numbers continue to grow, aided in large part by many stunning contributions from Compostella Farm and other local farms we've been working with these last couple months. We're c1 read more »

Hi all,
We hope you're all enjoying the beautiful start of May and are doing a lot of Jazz Festing in place this weekend. We are now onto the extended season for our farm share, which will likely extend again into June. We're continuing to plant new crops, including more greens and plenty of summer1 read more »
