ARTfarm Wednesday PM: High Season Yums… 3/5/2025, 5 – 6 PM

Fresh heirloom tomatoes are at their sweetest at the peak of the season after the rains have mostly stopped!

There’s a natural ebb and flow with the season. For this mid-week stand, we’ll have an abundance of salad greens and more tomatoes and watermelon. Come see us tomorrow afternoon.

It will be first come first served Wednesday. As usual, if the crowd looks thick, Farmer Luca may ration some items so no one goes home empty handed.

Sunday afternoons around 4 PM have become a hot time slot for volunteers. If you’d like to join our little group, give us a call or send a text or reach out through social media or email. If you are interested in learning more about sustainable, regenerative gardening practices — we would love some help in the gardens and with a few other tasks as well. Volunteers have always been crucial elements of our system.

If you have reached out to us about volunteering and we haven’t gotten back to you yet please be persistent. This is our busiest time of year. We could still use your help. Just reach out again!

No reservations; first come, first served. We recommend coming about halfway or later through the hour if you would like a shorter line. We really appreciate your support.

Watermelon is one of Luca’s favorite crops.

  1. Good morning, I always love seeing your emails come through.

    I am hoping to finally make it by tonight for your pop up. I’m also interested in volunteering. It was helpful you put that suggested spot for Sunday. I will see if I can make that work!

    I’d love to chat with you-I have a table at the new Hangar market and am interested in seeing if we can showcase some of your products, or at the very least I’m trying to coordinate with my clients to get them fresh produce often.

    If it is too busy today to chat, I’ll at least introduce myself and see if there is another time that will work!

    Sincerely,

    1. Hey Steph I just checked out your website. Very cool. We certainly always have organizing tasks around the farm if that’s something you love to do. The tool sheds are always a mess.

      We do have to be very strict about tobacco and cigarettes. I see on your profile that you do a lot of bartending which could mean that your hair skin and clothing has residue from tobacco on it. There’s a virus that comes from tobacco, called the mosaic virus, that can drastically affect the productivity of tomato and pepper plants and it gets into the soil and it’s untreatable. That is our primary liveliood. So it’s really important that anyone who works or volunteers on the farm be a non-smoker, NOT drive here in a vehicle that is regularly used for smoking tobacco, and that their clothing and shoes are clean and free of tobacco residue. So freshly laundered clothing etc. is important for anyone who works in Smokey environments or is a smoker or shares a car with someone who smokes a lot. TSP can get it off the skin but it’s a pretty harsh detergent that is not Gray water friendly.

      The residue from tobacco smoking can get onto our tools and then everyone on the farm would be spreading it.

      So that’s something we would ask before having you come out to Volunteer.
