Soon come!

We will be open (finally!) in two weeks, Saturday, October 12th! We’ll be welcoming everyone back with lettuce greens, microgreens, basil and garlic chives, and local honey, with cucumbers, beets and arugula soon to follow.

It has been so hot this fall that we just decided to delay planting of some things so that the plants would be stronger. Like a turnaround after a long recession, the summer fallow is starting to show signs of life!

ARTfarm on a short break

Fresh figs are planned for production next season! See you in September!

ARTfarm will be on a short break for the next few weeks while we give the gardens a rest. Sorry for any inconvenience. We will resume our Saturday farmstands in September and look forward to another diverse growing season with you all! Thanks for your business, we appreciate it.

Today’s the last Wednesday ARTfarmstand for the season!

A bonanza of freshly picked greens and treats await ARTfarm customers today from 3-6pm down on the south shore.

We’ll have baby salad mix, sweet mix with baby greens, arugula, a few bunches of cooking greens, mangoes, pineapples, soursop, lemon basil, lemon grass, garlic chives, Feeli and Shalima’s vegan ice cream, and Wanda’s raw local honey.

This will be the last Wednesday ARTfarmstand for the summer. We will continue to be open every Saturday from 10am-12noon. There may be two or three weeks coming up where we won’t have salad greens on Saturday, but we’ll have other organically produced summer treats. (The ARTfarmers are giving the garden beds their regular well-deserved summer break.) Check back on our website or on Facebook for a list of what we’ll have!

Thanks for supporting local growers like us. We appreciate it.*

*That means you too, Jimmy Adams, Elroy, and Sam!

Soporific Sweet Soursop at ARTfarm today!

It’s sweet fruit season at ARTfarm. Today’s Saturday stand (10 AM to 12 noon) will have: soursop, pineapples, mangoes, garlic chives, lemongrass, lemon basil, Indian chilli peppers, lettuce mix, macrogreens (bigger than microgreens), baby arugula, kan-kong (Asian water spinach) and the last pumpkin! We also have local raw honey, locally hand-made vegan ice cream, and as usual, the thick and delicious Ipswitch accent of your AHTfahmstand hostess, Debbie. Swing by and get some fresh fahm greens!

Soursop looks like a green sea monster on the tree, but cut one in half and you’ll find a sweet sweet creamy white flesh interspersed with a few hard large black seeds. It’s custard like, and you can eat it out of hand, or make it into a fantastic ice cream.
