It’s really a tossup over which one is cheerier: Heather, or a riot bouquet of zinnias in a million bright colors…

It’s a New Year! Welcome to 2016!! We resolve to bring you as much organically grown fresh local produce as we possibly can! if you’re not out shaking your bana at the adult parade in the morning, come and see us at 10am…

Sweet salad mix, teen spicy salad mix, baby and teen arugula, lettuce heads;

Three types of kale, cherry tomatoes, red slicing tomatoes, slicing cucumbers and wild little gherkins, yellow and green summer squash, carrots, radishes and sweet corn;

Italian basil, Thai basil, lemon basil, holy basil, recao, rosemary, mint, green serrano hot peppers, cut flowers and a few figs.  

Hang in there baby! Here is a motivational poster for 2016: a young stink bug, generally considered a very destructive “Darth Vader” bug, turns into a good guy when he starts eating caterpillars in the garden. It is a battle of good and evil, of the Jedi Knights against the Dark Side. Feel the force. Use your evil powers for good. Transform yourself in 2016! And by all means, bite off more than you can chew!
 

ARTfarm Wednesday 3-6pm – Tomatoes and Corn!

 

Farmer Luca gets up early on farmstand days to hand-harvest all the baby greens.
  
 
We’ve finally got more slicer tomatoes! Quantities are going up but it’s still a good idea to make it to the stand early if you can!
