For Saturday we will have lots of sweet salad mix, baby spicy salad mix, baby arugula, mature arugula, and loads and loads of beautiful cucumbers including our new favorite cuke: a Japanese thin skinned variety with a small seed cavity. We have been juicing this cucumber wholeand unpeeled and it makes a perfect cooling, healing, hydrating beverage without the addition of anything but water in the blender. Strain through a cheesecloth and serve!

We will also have some more slicing tomatoes, some watermelon, lots of butternut in different fun XL and XS sizes, a few bell peppers, a few bunches of radishes, lots of beautiful cooking greens (and purples) with crisp large leaves for juicing or cooking. Our first harvest of baby ginger and baby turmeric looks beautiful and we are very excited. Also fresh picked for you early Saturday morning: Italian basil, lemon basil, Thai basil, holy basil, dill, cilantro, garlic chives, lemongrass and cut flowers.

Wednesday farmstand: “Things come in fits and avalanches here at ARTfarm. As it turns out, we will have a lot of stuff on Wednesday,” says Farmer Luca.

Ridiculous amounts of two kinds of organically grown cucumbers, a few more cherry tomatoes, our first slicing tomatoes, sweet salad mix, spicy salad mix and arugula, figs, lots of watermelon, lots of cooking greens, Italian basil, dill, cilantro, zinnias, radishes, our tiny hot hot chili peppers and the bigger cayenne style peppers, a few new type of seasoning/pickling “cheese” peppers, lots of butternut large and small, little Japanese specialty sweet melons, a few Haitian kidney mangoes. For the farmer in you, we have a few discounted tomato plants looking for a home!

We will have more fresh goat cheese from Fiddlewood Farms and hopefully soon, honey and other holiday treats from Wanda!

Wednesdays have still been on slow side. Will close at 4:30pm.

We humbly thank you for your support!

10am – 12 noon down the South Shore: Lots of fresh sweet salad mix, teen arugula, and teen spicy salad mix, young tender cooking greens, baby boc choi, lots of cucumbers (long thin skinned Japanese type and American slicer cukes). Other treats: Our first pint of cherry tomatoes, Mediterranean figs, watermelon, lots of Italian basil, Thai basil, holy basil, lemon basil, lots of small hot Thai chili peppers, lots of butternut squash, local goat cheese from Fiddlewood Farm, and zinnia flowers.

Love, ARTfarm

Things have been exceptionally slow after 4 PM at the Wednesday farmstands, so until things start to get a little busier we will be closing at 4:30pm Wednesdays. Speaking of slow starts, the harvest amounts are getting up to speed a little more slowly than usual for this time of year, perhaps due to the heavy rains at the beginning of the month that washed away topsoil and stressed out the plants. So we are being patient.

Early morning harvest for the farmstand Wednesday afternoon: we’ll have lots of cucumbers (two types), baby spicy greens, baby arugula, teen spicy greens, teen arugula, sweet salad mix, some watermelon, some figs, some cooking greens, Italian basil, lemon basil, radishes, Thai basil, garlic chives, green onion tops with small onion bulbs, butternut squash, and chili peppers.
