Happy ARTfarm mom and kid with the ARTfarm sign. "Get Your Greens!"
ARTfarm is getting some new signs this season. Yay!

We’ve missed you! The pond isn’t quite finished yet due to some shipping complications, but lots of other projects got done, Ronnie Mae is back, and we have lots of new farm experiments going on this year with new crops and varieties sure to keep you interested for the entire season!

If you love giant avocados, you’ll enjoy today’s farmstand.

We also have baby spicy salad mix, microgreens, arugula, asian water spinach, garlic chives, basil, thai basil, lemongrass, and two out of season renegade cucumbers who just cropped up on their own this summer. In the fruit department we have for you today: local bananas, malay apple (aka wax jambu, Caribbean apple, pomerac), mesple (aka brown sugar fruit), mangoes and strawberry guava!

If you’ve been very very good, we have freshly made Sweetface chocolates, and Feel I’s icecreams in local fruit flavors.

And we have beautiful native trees for sale.

We love you. Come see us on this fine glittery Saturday morning, 10am to noon!

The St. Croix Palletteers spent the morning exploring the ARTfarm today. They painted Senepol cows, mangoes, wooden sheds and “junk piles”. A great time was had by all!

The Palletteers have a blog at palletteersofstcroix.blogspot.com. These renegade plein air painters visit all kinds of places on St. Croix and have fun capturing the scenery.

Thanks for the visit!
