ARTfarm Monday 3-6pm Today!

We’ve been getting some beautiful little evening rain showers, greening up the South Shore and offsetting the very consistent, drying winds we have had recently. Today’s offerings: Sweet salad mix, baby spicy and regular spicy salad mixes, baby arugula, regular arugula, loads of cherry tomatoes, loads of slicing tomatoes and heirlooms, a few cucumbers, dandelion greens, Italian basil, parsley, cilantro, passionfruit, fresh Mediterranean figs!

From off the farm we have raw local honey from Errol Chichester today, in large and small bottles. Makes a very thoughtful gift.

From our partners: Beautiful raw local honey from Errol Chichester, and from I-Sha we have locally crafted vegan ice cream!

Sorry for anyone who has tried to call us today. There is something afoot with our cell phones and we have pressed our provider to figure it out. If you call us we sound like fish underwater, and you probably will sound like that to us. Hopefully it will be fixed in a day or two. In the meantime, feel free to reach out on social media or via text.

Monday Q and A, open 3–6 p.m.!

How many heirloom tomatoes can YOU eat? Please, HELP US!!
How many heirloom tomatoes can YOU eat? Please, HELP US!!

Q: Farmer Luca, why do you look so sleepy in this photo of you with a giant tower of tomatoes?

A: I’m glad you asked. In fact, I have been up late for the last few nights. After putting excessive numbers of tomatoes to bed, I’ve been grooving to golden age hip-hop and working on paintings for a new art exhibit I will be having with Mike Walsh at the Walsh Metal Works Gallery, opening April 10th!

So, dear customers, when reaching for a bag today for your purchases, be careful not to mistakenly grab one of those under Luca’s eyes.

I’m Your DreamVegetable…Saturday 10 AM – 12 noon!

These cucumbers at ARTfarm may be both talented and beautiful, but they are not Divas*!

This season’s Caribbean Community Theater musical Dreamgirls has been sold out nearly every show and is being held over for this weekend! Christina went to see it last Saturday and raved about the incredibly spot-on casting, seriously flamboyant performances, costumes and wigs! Lots of laughs as well as some thought-provoking themes and plot points, CCT recommends this show for mature audiences (ages 13 and up). Support the arts in our community and enjoy this and other excellent theatrical productions at CCT!

Saturday’s farmstand will feature triple-threat cucumbers as well as: sweet salad mix, spicy salad greens, arugula, baby arugula, microgreens, loads of heirloom and slicer tomatoes, loads of cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, beets, long beans, ginger, baby bok choy, collards, kale, Italian basil, holy basil, Thai basil, lemon basil, cilantro, parsley, dill, chives, onions, scallions, collards, thyme, endive, escarole, carrots, a few petite bell peppers, assorted chili peppers, passionfruit, sweet potato greens, zinnia flowers and a few early bird ripe Mediterranean figs.

From our partner I-Sha we have vegan ice cream. Next week we’ll have Errol Chichester’s honey again!

*A “Diva” is a variety of cucumber. Oh, we got jokes on the farm.
