ABOUT THE FARM

River Queen Greens is a 1/2 acre market garden growing vegetables in and for the Bywater neighborhood of New Orleans. Founded in 2017 by Cheryl Nunes and Annie Moore, River Queen Greens is the result of a long-simmering decision to leave Massachusetts - our home of 6 years - and return to our old neighborhood in New Orleans to grow vegetables. Before coming back to New Orleans, Cheryl was managing a small vegetable farm outside of Boston and Annie was managing social enterprises in the region. 

Now that we are finally home, we are thrilled to be able to grow year-round in a community with such a rich culinary culture, and join a burgeoning movement that's bringing locally and sustainably grown produce into New Orleans kitchens.
​
​We use all organic practices to grow greens and other veggies for sale at local markets and to neighborhood restaurants.
