Summer solstice. Cover crop in the hoop houses.

This was our first week not at market since October because the farm has definitely transitioned to summer production. We’re still picking blackberries, peppers, eggplants, and okra, but a lot is slowing down and we’re switching our focus to building good soil for next season.

06/12/2024

We harvested the last of our carrots today!

Total carrot yield for this season: 10,635lbs. That’s the most we’ve grown yet and we look forward to beating it next year!

06/11/2024

Big berries poppin’, pickin’ ain’t stopping’!

(Except for Reva whose last day for the season is tomorrow 😭)

06/03/2024

Pretty stoked about pepper season. These are a couple varieties of sweet peppers + shish*tos. Hot peppers are starting up too. 🔥

05/30/2024

All the colors at today! Including blackberry.

05/28/2024

I hope you’re not tired of blackberry content yet, cause it’s still comin’ at you!!

Reva for the berry toss win.

Blackberry season is in full swing!

These delicious berries are grown organically, as is everything else on our farm. And unlike most certified Organic berries that you can buy at the supermarket, these are grown in soil, not hydroponically or in substrate containers.

We’re selling our berries through our Farm Share on Tuesday and at the Thursday farmers market in Midcity. It’s a great time of year for local fruits and veggies, so get yourself a Veggie Box through our GrownBy page (link in profile) or get out to the .

And jammers, bakers, winemakers(?) and other big time berry lovers, hit us up if you’re looking for bulk quantities (5 # or more).

The moment we’ve been waiting for! Our first blackberry harvest with enough berries to bring to the Farm Share! 🎉🍾

Limited quantities, fresh picked today, mostly sweet with a little tart and juicy. They good.

05/18/2024

Big hauls from the farm. Greens, peppers, eggplants, squash, cukes, basil, lettuce, and about a millions other things are rolling in right now. Farm Share will be another stunner next week. Veggie Boxes at the link!

Imani has been doing a work trade at the farm this spring and today was her last day. She’s getting ready to relocate her own farm from the north shore to a spot just around the corner from us and will hopefully be growing her own veggies again this fall. It’s been great getting to know a West Bank neighbor who also loves growing food and feeding her community and doesn’t mind spending all morning pulling weeds 😁.

We’re looking forward to keeping tabs on her farming journey (and you can too ) and are very grateful that she shared time with us these last few months.

Cover crop with Penny photobomb.

Last season we broadcast our cover crop seed in this field and with the drought the germination was terrible. We used the Earthway seeder for this section last week. Took a while to make all those passes but it did the job 🌱🌱🌱

Got Cucumbers? 🥒

It’s peak veg season right now. Veggie Boxes and Farm Shares are available. Visit our website to find out more and place an order. Just four weeks left!

05/08/2024

Harvested some onions today. They did better than we expected!🧅 🧅

05/03/2024

Peak veggie season is just approaching fast and we want to make sure everyone can get in on the action! We added more Farm Shares for the last 5 weeks of the season and have lots of one-time Veggie Boxes available too.

Leafy greens, salad mixes, root veggies, onions, cukes and zukes, eggplants, peppers, okra, basil - it’s all happening in the last few weeks of the spring season.

Get it while the getting is green!

Bok choy made it in right before the storm arrived.

Despite the wild weather this morning, we are looking at the best Farm Share of the season so far with arugula finally, the first cukes and zukes, beautiful bok choy and lettuce and lots of other good stuff. (A couple Farm Share veggie boxes are still available to order by midnight tonight (see profile).)

And we’re looking forward to having a great spread at market on Thurs too. Which unfortunately is on Rolling Stones day. If you have it in you to brave coming out to Midcity Thursday afternoon, we and all the other vendors who work so hard to bring all the goods to market would really appreciate it. The food still grows even during Jazz Fest. Thanks for keeping it local!

04/25/2024

It’s Jazz Fest at the Fairgrounds but it’s Fennel Fest over here at

Come by the Greenway before 7.

04/19/2024

New plastic-free microgreens packaging! What do y’all think?!

Find em at the today.

04/17/2024

Carrots are always in fashion here. We hand wash all of them right now (which is very time consuming!), but we just submitted a USDA grant application to pay for a rinse conveyor which would be a complete game changer. 🤞

04/05/2024

We had a great Cover Crop Field Day on Wednesday. We talked seeding sunn h**p and other cover crops, and showed off the rental no-till drill (which subsequently broke and took 5+ hours to repair).

Thanks to everyone who came out for the Field Day and for folks who came out for the concurrent In-District meeting with Senator Bill Cassidy’s office who got to hear about the great things happening with urban agriculture in the state.

Thanks also to our great crew for making everything run as smoothly as possible!

03/27/2024

Hot pups and hot peps and okra, all hanging out in the crimped sunn h**p from last fall. We’re still getting some mulch coverage from the old sunn h**p stalks.

We’ll be hosting a field day next Wednesday to talk about our sunn h**p experiment, which is funded through a SARE grant. Anyone interested in hearing about cover crops and this particular project is welcome to join. Deets in pic 3, RSVP at link in profile.

Butter lettuce! It’s big, it’s beautiful, it’s coming to market today!

at the Greenway, 3-7pm (daylight savings hours are back)

Rain or shine!

First peppers filling in the sweet pepper house!

We’ve never had great success with sweet peppers but are always trying different varieties to hopefully find some that can withstand the grueling summers in SE Louisiana. These are Carmen and Ninja.🤞🌶️

03/18/2024

These beets 🤩

03/09/2024

Get a Veggie Box on Tuesday and join us as we celebrate and honor the last of these glorious leeks. We’ve all oohed and ahhed over them for months. It’s time to bid them adieu, until next year. 🎆🎇

Veggie Boxes can be ordered via our website. Pickup Tuesday evening at Press Street Gardens.

Potatoes by the foot.

Planted 900’ of three different potato varieties. Literally cannot wait for them to be ready.

02/23/2024

First time pulling carrots for the niece and nephew, (other than in “Untitled Goose Game”, which apparently is a video game involving stealing stuff from a farmer 👩‍🌾) 🥕🥕

02/16/2024

Whoa what a week. Hope everyone’s had a very happy and safe Mardi Gras. Now back to our regularly scheduled programming.

02/08/2024

Hey party people! We’re coming to market today. Get there before the parade and have a freakin’ happy carnival!
