After months of inquiries, Luca is finally liquidating some of his potted fig tree collection. Four remaining young fig trees, as well as surinam cherry seedlings, native palms, and more will be available for sale.

This will be our final farmstand for the season. We will continue to supply restaurants with a few bulk items for a little while longer but conditions are unusually dry, reducing harvests, and we still have to begin the bulk of our hurricane recovery reconstruction, so we are going to shift gears a bit earlier than usual. If weather conditions change or we have a flush of fruit we may re-open for some pop-ups during the summer. Stay on our mailing list and you’ll know if those conditions occur! Thank you for your understanding and for your support this season, we greatly appreciate it.

Things are extremely dry on the South Shore as everywhere else on the island right now, it seems. So please give respect to the men and women of the VI Fire Service and be extra careful with any burning or flaming objects. We have preemptorally closed down all farm areas to firedancing until it starts raining on the regular. Sorry Kiki! 😉

We look forward to seeing everyone!

Just a quick reminder that our farmstand will be closed tomorrow (Wednesday, March 20th 2019). It’s that time of year again, things are sooo dry, plants and people are slowing down and we are shuttering Wednesday afternoon farmstands for the rest of this season.

We will still be open Saturdays 10 AM to 12 noon with salad mix, tomatoes, herbs and other treats. Our apologies to anyone who has a hard time making it to us on Saturday mornings, try and find a friend to shop for you! (Perhaps the comments section under this post on our Facebook page might be a place for you to request or help out a shopping buddy.)

A quick shout out to the restaurant chefs who recently used our produce on their menus:

• SALT stx (our new South Shore neighbors just east of the Boy Scout camp, serving breakfast and lunch Mon – Sat)
• Duggan’s Reef

Saturday farmstand! 10 AM – 12 noon.

We will have beautiful baby bok choy — a delicate, very mild flavored Asian cabbage type green. It is so easy to cook with its tender leaves and crunchy stems. It is high in B and C vitamins. Chop the head into quarters and rinse it well to remove any soil particles. Then drizzle the quarters with oil and throw it on the grill — or chop and sauté it on high heat in a pan with your favorite spices and enjoy those crunchy stems, or steam it, or chop it up and throw it in a soup. It is mild enough in flavor to use the leaves as a substitution for spinach in some dishes. This Asian cooking green is a versatile veggie and we have plenty of it at the farm right now.

In addition to baby bok choy, we have lots of sweet salad mix, bunched arugula, cucumbers, loads and loads of cherry tomatoes including black plums, slicing tomatoes, heirloom tomatoes, freshly harvested baby ginger and baby turmeric, Italian basil, cilantro, dill, lemon basil, holy basil, garlic chives, onions, scallions, baby carrots, sweet potatoes, beautiful escarole, sweet tamarind, all our seasoning and spicy peppers and papaya.

Also vegan ice cream. Hopefully goat cheese next weekend.

We have made an executive decision to stop our Wednesday farmstands for the season. Harvests and crowds are both getting smaller. Sorry for the short notice! The schedule is now Saturdays, 10am — 12 noon.
