Happy ARTfarm mom and kid with the ARTfarm sign.

As of winter 2022, due to “tripledemic” public health concerns in the community, we are temporarily holding off on open regular farmstands. We started a ‘farmshare’ program during the COVID pandemic in 2020, with online reservations and staggered pickup times of ten people or less, primarily on Wednesday afternoons and Saturday mornings, so read our latest blog posts to find out how to participate. You basically commit to a minimum purchase of a few popular farm items (reserved for you) and a pickup timeslot, and then you get a semi-private shopping experience at our farm.

During season, typically Nov – August, we will be open Wednesday afternoons, 3–4:30 p.m., and on Saturday mornings from 10 AM until 12 noon. Prior to the pandemic, those were open, first come first served hours but typically a pretty long line of customers forms. In high season, we have switched to a web-based reservation policy to keep crowds smaller. Our hours are limited because everything is picked fresh and we generally sell out of produce quickly.

We are usually always here at the farm, working on fine art goals, farm maintenance, homeschooling, conservation projects and (yes, still!) hurricane recovery projects following the devastation of Hurricane Maria in 2017. During the summer months which is our off season, if we get some good rain, or have a flush of summer fruit, we will host a pop-up stand. This will be posted on our Facebook page and to our email list. You can sign up on this website for the email list to receive those (and all) farmstand notifications.

Our farmstand is located on our farm, which is on the south side of South Shore Rd. (Rt. 62) of St. Croix, East of Hapenny beach and west of the Boy Scout camp and Great Pond Bay, at the junction of Rt. 85 (Spring Gut Road) and the South Shore Rd. As the crow flies, we are due south of Christiansted. We have a large sign along the road that says ARTfarm, with some other signs describing some of the current seasonal produce we offer.

If you prefer paper maps, we are listed on the free St. Croix This Week magazine map, we are the orange number one. On the St. Croix Pocket Map, we are marked with a purple number one. These publications are free and widely distributed around the island.
