Farm Happenings at River Queen Greens
Amazing Veggies plus Momma D's Pickles and Jam!
April is a great month for growing vegetables here in New Orleans, and we've been harvesting like crazy at the farm. We're loving the variety of greens, roots, herbs, peas, squash and more that's coming off our fields. This is the season we've been waiting for, and it's not disappointing. Compostel1 read more »
Peak Strawberries (and the last days of peas)
We're getting close to the end of the peas - snow peas pretty much peaked this week and we're just about out of sugar snaps - but we're welcoming the arrival of summer squash, which liked the rain a couple nights ago. The fields are looking plenty soaked right now, and there's a lot more rain in th1 read more »
Herb City
Our Kentucky St farm is overflowing with beautiful greens and herbs right now. It's hard to believe that in as little as a couple weeks, some of it will be a construction site for a new home the landlord is building. Fortunately, the construction is taking place on the far end of the property, away1 read more »
Lettuce Lettuce Lettuce
I don't know what to say about this weather we're having (hot? cold? wet? dry?), but I do know what to say about the lettuce we've got growing in our fields right now: hot dang. This mixed lettuce is so dreamy, and it's grown here in the Bywater.

Greens for the Holidays
Sometimes we lose track of the calendar, but a little birdie told me that this weekend is Easter. So, we're excited for our greens to be on your Easter and Passover tables this weekend, or just on your regular tables! We here for all of it.
We'll be putting together a great share for you, wit1 read more »
Peas and Thank You
It's finally pea season! After losing multiple plantings to the freeze last month, we're finally swimming in some of my favorite crops: sugar snap peas and snow peas. It's been a wild ride, including a record amount of rainfall this month (6" on Tuesday!) but they're here at last, and we're excited1 read more »
Another wet and wild weather event?
We had an amazing weekend hosting superstar farmer Ellen Polishuk for a series of Louisiana veggie grower workshops at our farm. It was so fun seeing all the people who showed up and nerding out about growing veggies. It can be isolating working at a farm, so it's very special to be able to get us1 read more »
Louisiana Farmer Power this Weekend
This is an exciting weekend for Louisiana farmers for a couple reasons:
1) Food and agricultural workers (that's us!) are finally eligible for the Covid vaccine! We've been de-prioritized repeatedly over the last month as other criteria have been pushed up, but it's our turn now. Yay!
2) LSU AgCent1 read more »
New Palestinian Pop-up Starts Saturday!
We were very sad to eat our last onigirazus last week, but we're pleased to announce a new pop-up that will take over our Saturday morning to-go brunch at the farm. Loubiya is a brand new pop-up making Palestinian comfort food that looks and sounds absolutely delicious. We can't wait to try it, and1 read more »
