ARTfarm Salad Greens & Corn Saturday 1/8/2022, Preorders 11am-12 noon: Reserve your pickup slot!

ETA: this set of 30 farmshares is sold out for Saturday. Check us again next week! Sign up for emails on this website and you will get notification of future signups. Thanks everyone, we really appreciate your support.

Despite the drought, we have gorgeous greens for your healthy household. Saturday morning at 11am we’ll start distributions for 30 pre-order customers with winter wonders: ARTfarm sweet salad mix along with baby arugula and baby spicy mix, herbs, healthy cooking greens, sweet corn and watermelon… Once again for your safety and ours, because the omicron variant is more spreadable during a time when people are social-distance-fatigued (we are close to two years of this!), we have returned to our pandemic preorders with scheduled customer pickup timeslots this week in order to keep crowds of more than ten customers from forming. Because we love you! Not everyone has the same level of immunity! Spread yourselves out!! We know this is exhausting and we are over it too!!

Winter garden in late afternoon at ARTfarm, 2022. Beautiful lettuces, kale, zinnia and cosmo flowers, herbs, carrots and weeds galore! This is all growing on drip irrigation after a summer/fall season of severe drought – the hills behind are golden dry grasses from the unusual lack of rainfall.

Click the link at the bottom to reserve your pickup time and items, and check for your confirmation email before hitting the road… if you can’t find the email, check our help page… Please wear your mask and keep plenty of social distance at pickup!

We’ve also got fresh fresh cilantro, garlic chives, dill, kaffir leaves, green Thai chiles, green Serrano and jalapeño peppers. Plus, ward off any winter ailments with lots of beautiful fresh ginger and turmerics to add to your dishes and smoothies and health tonics; to make golden milk (great with non-dairy milks too); grate into dishes and add gorgeous color and flavor plus health benefits to sauces.

Amazing pink fire sunset yesterday afternoon on St. Croix! Double rainbow over the ARTfarm made Farmer Luca ugly cry in wonderment!

Please contact us immediately by text and phone at (340)514-4873 if you have reserved a farmshare and cannot pick it up. Supply is limited, demand is extremely high and someone else will gladly purchase your share, if given enough time to respond. We have limited time for distributions and they are scheduled. Our produce is harvested fresh and needs to go home with you same day. This is an honor system since we are not collecting payment until pickup. We do not have cold storage for uncollected shares.

The signup form will show you a “Thank You” page and send you a confirmation email if submitted successfully. If you don’t find it, please check your spam/junk, inbox tabs, and ‘all mail’ folders for the confirmation email, as this has been a common problem for several customers and with a little searching they typically find it. For more tips, visit our Help page.

Need help with the pre-order signup form? (Click here):
Q: I can’t seem to order more than one item.

A: We have designed our order form not to allow any one customer to purchase all of one extra. Sharing is caring. If you’d like extra of something (beyond what you could reserve through our order system), put it in the comments with your order, and remind us at your pickup time: if we can supply it to you we’ll do our best. If you are in the food service industry and looking for bulk availability, please contact us; our order form is for individuals and families to place a single order for a scheduled pickup.

Q: My order isn’t going through.
  • if the automated confirmation email is not immediately found, check your spam folder
  • and the ‘all mail’ folder
  • make sure all required fields are filled/selected
  • just try again
  • use a cellular device (smartphone or tablet) that isn’t using WiFi internet
  • restart your browser/device
  • clear your cache and cookies in your browser/device
  • reboot your router (unplug it for a minute and plug in again)
  • visit our “help” page for additional tips
Q: The form says I didn’t enter my email, but I did.

Our pre-order form requires everyone to type their email in twice, and makes sure the two match exactly. We had a lot of customers in such a rush to get their order in that they’d spell their own email incorrectly and then complain that they could not find the confirmation email. Our ‘type it in twice’ system ensures that you’ll find any email mistakes before you submit the pre-order form.

Q: I ordered before, but I’m not getting your emails.

Our pre-order form does NOT automatically sign you up for an ARTfarm email subscription. Do that HERE!

  1. Hi Christina,

    The signup link is taking me to a broken link message from July 2021.  I’ve attached a screenshot.  I’d like a small share for Saturday (8th) pickup and likely purchase non reservable add-ons.  I’ll try the form again later.

    All the best,

    Elsa Higby

    1. Hey there Elsa! I disabled the form at 3:30 today as we had sold out all the shares. I will look into why it is forwarding to an old form, that’s definitely odd. However we are out of distribution slots for tomorrow, sorry!
