Remember a couple of months ago, when everyone kept asking when we would have tomatoes? 

We’ve got them now. 

Sweet salad mix, a few bags of arugula and spicy salad mix, copious amounts of tomatoes of all types including cherry, heirloom and slicer tomatoes, watermelons, sweet papayas, lettuce heads, Romaine heads, dandelion greens, cooking greens, sweet potatoes, baby ginger, baby turmeric, Italian basil, lemon basil, holy basil, garlic chives, cilantro, dill, a few cucumbers, radishes, onions, scallions, carrots, serrano peppers, Indian chili peppers, zinnia flowers, sunflowers, and some French pumpkin! 

Make way for active democracy! We will be rerouting our morning traffic to the afternoon to accommodate peaceful voices representing justice, peace and the rule of law, among other things important to all of us. Be safe, be strong and be loud and proud at 10am at Sunday Market Square in C’sted on Saturday morning, and we will see you at the ARTfarm at 3 PM!

Saturday afternoon we will have: Lots of sweet salad mix, teen arugula, teen salad mix, mature arugula and mature spicy salad mix, loads of tomatoes of all types; heirlooms, big slicers, cherry tomatoes of all colors; a few cucumbers, lots of watermelon, papaya, sweet potato, jicama, a few bell peppers, lots of hot Indian chilies, Serrano peppers, baby ginger, baby turmeric, a variety of cooking greens, dandelion greens, two types of radishes, lots of scallions, onions, garlic chives, Italian basil, holy basil, lemon basil, lemon balm, lemongrass, recao, dill, cilantro, rosemary, romaine lettuce heads and other assorted heads of lettuce, lots of baby and mature carrots, lots of beautiful cut flowers and sunflowers, a few butternut and our first pumpkin of the season!

Our humble thanks to all citizens who participate in the great discourse. It is so important to make time for free expression. 

It is the PLENTY time of the year. We’re going to have tons of salad, tomatoes and watermelon for the Wednesday farmstand (even after the first half hour!) and quite a few figs for those determined early birds. Sweet salad mix, spicy salad mix, arugula, tomatoes (heirlooms and slicers and cherry tomatoes), loads of multicolored watermelon, dandelion greens, radishes, papayas, passionfruit, figs, Italian basil, lemon basil, Thai basil, holy basil, garlic chives, cilantro, parsley, dill, recao, green Serrano chilies, green Indian chilies, Mesilla chili peppers, onions, scallions, baby ginger with thin skin, cut flowers. From Fiddlewood Farm we’ve got fresh local goat cheese medallions. (Our goat cheese supply will be gradually, temporarily dwindling as the goats have new baby kids! The dairy continues to expand!)

There is a fairly well publicized Women’s Walk taking place on Saturday, January 21st, in Christiansted between 10am and 12. Quite a large number of our customers will be attending as well as some of our helpers. Road access getting out to the South Shore may also be blocked temporarily. So on this coming Saturday, we will have a delayed opening and serve our customers from 3 PM till 5:30 PM. We hope this does not put a crimp in your shopping routine. 

There was a decided lack of flora at last Saturday’s stand, for good reason. We were saving up all our blooms and letting them get their biggest for a wedding we’ve planned for since October! We did a huge flower haul early Monday morning. Our destination bride arrived with family to collect buckets of zinnias, sunflowers, wildflowers, olive branches, and dill and cilantro flowers. What better way to zen out before your big day than with diy flower arranging and bouquet making? 

Love, ARTfarm
