Nam doc Mai mango

ARTfarmMangosSaturday AM: 30 min. Ministand… 7/19/2025, 11am – 11:30am

The mango is a fruit that cannot be truly sampled outside of the tropical places where it grows. They can’t really travel. The many times we’ve tried eating them in the states, even from the most hoity-toity of supermarkets, it is just not the same experience whatsoever. A fresh mango is perfumy, succulent, intensely sweet, and highly diverse.

ARTfarm has a curated selection of delicious not-so-stringy grafted mangoes for you to try.

There are so many mango varieties. Textures, colors, smells and flavors.

Nam doc Mai mango

ARTfarm Open 7/16/2025 Wednesday 5 to 5:30PM, Mangoes For Miles Mini Popup!

Farmer Luca will be open 5 to 5:30 pm Wednesday at the farm with many many mangoes… plus pomegranates and turmeric. Enjoy!

Our ARTfarm mango trees have officially recovered from Hurricane Maria. Left to right: Butterball, Jakarta, Mallika, Haitian kidney, Nam doc mai, Carrie

(Most of our mangoes are smaller this year with the drier conditions which creates an extra intense flavor and sweetness)

Plenty

  • Thai mangoes (nam doc mai) – silky smooth yellow buttery flesh, thin seed
  • Jakarta mangoes – possibly the prettiest and tastiest mango
  • Mallika mangos – big and green, taste like a super sweet and creamy orange, often compared to the drink “Tang“, one of Luca’s favorite mangoes
  • Viequen Butterball mangoes – this is a monster big pound and a quarter mango in a good year, but sweet and buttery and almost completely textureless. You can just eat it with a spoon right out of the cheek. Similar to a Clinty Lang. 
  • Haitian kidney mangoes – not to be confused with regular kidney mangoes that are really hairy. These are bigger, with a bit of texture, but not sticking in your teeth. Has a little lemony vibe, mild and warm.
  • Carrie mangoes – rare variety that’s quite delicate, so never sold in stores, but outrageous in flavor with a lack of fiber
  • Pomegranates – large pink, Zürich’s fave
  • Turmeric

First come first serve.

We named this mango the ‘Viequen Butterball’ for its size, sweet mellowness and lack of fiber. Tita would bring us these mangoes.

ARTfarm FRESH TUNA Saturday AM: 30+30=60 min. Ministand… 7/12/2025, 11am – 12 NOON. We stand corrected. Again.

Fisherman Christof will have a gorgeous yellowfin tuna in the morning. He’ll be slicing up tuna fillets and tuna steaks. Come early, with your cooler full of Olaf to put it on, and an extra bag for all the most amazing ARTfarm mangoes. Make a mango salsa to go with your fresh tuna. Sven will love it.

We know it is Mango Melee weekend, and we know that you’re all tired from Jump Up, and from the Frozen jokes and the bad math above, but you will have a particular advantage, even a bit of smugness, if you can attend Mango Melee having pre-stocked your kitchen with the most delicious South Shore mangoes on Saturday, freeing you on Sunday to wander the Botanical Garden, swinging your arms about to form your own personal breeze, recklessly unburdened by disproportionate purchases of the heavy sweet orbs of summer.

Smaller fruits in a dry season with extra flavor and sweetness!

Sometimes a fisherman stops by the farm and we collaborate. Christof will be there in the morning with this particular, beautiful yellow FINNED tuna. Bring your cooler and bring a bag of Olaf.

Be an early early bird tomorrow. But yet there is still plenty.

Plenty

  • Sweet salad mix
