ARTfarm Wednesday Afternoon Farmstand: 5/27/2026, 4:30PM – 5:30PM

The 2026 summer mangoes are starting up at ARTfarm! From trees that Luca and Christina planted just after when the training pen had her first micro flock of sheep in it. The trees are producing beautifully after the 2017 hurricane set them back.

Summer’s almost here! It’s pineapple time! Dry and windy conditions persist at the farm with occasional showers. No more regular Saturdays for a bit so slide in on a WEDNESDAY to the ARTfarm farmstand. Limited quantities on salad mixes for Wednesday customers, plus papayas, a few early mangoes, hot peppers, herbs and limes!

We are continuing to grow salad and we’re trying a bed of cucumbers and watermelon with new techniques. Results are looking promising. Dragonfruit are budding again.

Pineapples are popping! Get some of these sweeties while you can!

There’s a few volunteers working on a carpentry project and Farmer Luca could use more help in the gardens.

We’ll see you Wednesday 5/27/26 from 4:30PM to 5:30PM!

ARTfarm papayas are SO SWEET! Many folks shy away from papaya, but the fruit contains helpful enzymes to improve digestion. A papaya skin poultice was an old remedy for cuts and burns, and the leaves juiced are just about the bitterest thing you’ll ever consume but is taken to build platelets, to fight mosquito-borne rheumatic fever diseases like dengue and chikungunya. The unripe fruit makes a delicious slaw. If you haven’t been a fan, it is worth another try!
