ARTfarm Saturday! Get in the Healthy Habit!

img_9827We are back to our usual routine of Saturday morning market from 10 AM to 12 noon. Business has been pretty slow, we are hoping that folks will get back in the habit of swinging by for fresh ARTfarm produce! Tell a friend to support local small farms and bring them with you!!

For Saturday morning we will have lots of cucumbers, lettuce heads, baby ginger, baby turmeric, cilantro, dill, garlic chives, Italian basil, lemon basil, Thai basil, Sakata sweet mini honeydew melons, lemongrass, recao and radishes. We are still working on clearing up space and securing structures to allow people into the farmstand area, so we may still set up on tables in the parking lot tomorrow.

Give wildlife a leg up! We have lots of native trees for sale, and FREE Caribbean birdseed from the St. Croix Environmental Association. Please bring a bag or container for birdseed!

Happy turkey day from ARTfarm.
We want to give a great big thank you to all of the people who have made our lives possible and made them better. We are grateful that we have a place to farm, and the tools and supporters to make that happen.

If you are doing some holiday shopping this weekend, consider an ARTfarm gift certificate for your loved ones. We also have beautiful one-of-a-kind monoprints and original artwork available through our gofundme fundraising efforts to rebuild our seedling house and art gallery that were destroyed by Hurricane Maria. We’ve raised nearly $4,000 of the $23,000 needed, GIVE THANKS!!  Visit http://gofundme.com/artfarmllc to donate and get an original piece of ARTfarm art!

The farmers have been hard at work on some beautiful art. We are making some botanical and farm scene monoprints and paintings to help us raise funds for our hurricane recovery efforts on the farm.

A special thank you Bob Boyan and our other super farmer volunteers.We’re grateful that there are amazing customers and chefs who appreciate the stuff we grow and the work that goes into it, and regularly buy our produce. We are thankful for the family members and volunteers that have been helping us with removing debris, weeding gardens, rebuilding fences and demo-ing our destroyed buildings.

The farmstands have been very slow, we know that many of our loyal regular customers are off island right now. We are dividing our time between fundraising, rebuilding, and producing food and art, with the hopes that people will come back in a month or so to be here for the holidays and eat our food!

Our pastured birds eat bugs, weeds and fresh sunflower seeds in addition to vegetarian poultry feed. We hope someday to feed them exclusively from what we can grow on the farm.
Enjoy the holiday season! We will see you soon! Love, ARTfarm
