Sandy Sharp’s pickup truck bounced along the dirt road near the vegetable plots at Covey Rise Farms. It was a Saturday afternoon, just after 5 p.m., in late August, the weekend before Hurricane Isaac, and the rolling acreage was damp from a recent rain.

As he piloted around the farm’s perimeter, twin tire marks formed in a wake of wet earth. Behind the wheel, windows rolled up, air conditioner cranking, Sharp swung the vehicle around, giving me the drive-by tour of the vegetables and herbs.
