ARTfarm on St. Croix, USVI

Good morning! Looking forward to seeing everyone at 10 am! Today we’ve got: Sweet salad mix, bunched arugula, loads of sweet potatoes all sizes, lots of papaya all sizes, onions, a few bunches of beets, pineapple, sliced and whole pumpkin, ginger root, turmeric, Italian basil, garlic chives, Italian parsley, recao, all of our peppers, zinnia flowers, ARTfarm chicken and turkey eggs. From our partners: Fiddlewood Farm’s fresh mild goat cheese and from Yellow Door Farm, more eggs, cinnamon, basil, lime basil, dandelion greens and ancho peppers. 

We love filling a skillet with only things we’ve grown on the farm. This ARTfarm breakfast hash is made from sweet potatoes, onions, peppers, turmeric and turkey eggs. Sprinkle a little goat cheese on top before serving!

Turkey eggs are jumbo sized, very rich and with a slightly thicker consistency, similar to a duck egg. The shells are a little thicker to crack, and the protective inner shell membrane inside is also thick. So have confidence when cracking a turkey egg! It’s well worth the increased effort!

Sweet salad mix and lots of it, teen arugula, loads of pineapple (a few green and quite a few ripe ones, lots of papaya, lots of sweet potatoes in all sizes, big beautiful sweet onions, ginger, turmeric, mango turmeric(!), Italian basil, garlic chives, recao, lemongrass, all of our sweet and our hot peppers, a few passionfruit, dandelion greens, assorted pumpkin, and zinnia flowers.

Farmer Roi took some time this week to construct a new front customer gate just moments before the old one crumbled into a pile of termite dust, humus and old paint chips. Hope you like the new one! 

Calabash tree seedlings, lignum vitae saplings, and pineapple slips for sale! The recent rains and everyone’s full cisterns have made planting things a viable hobby, so it’s a great time to get things into the ground. Particularly drought resistant things like calabash and lignum vitae trees and pineapple slips. 

It’s nearly summer. Mangoes are starting to get pretty sizable, but not ready yet. For now, enjoy what’s in season: dragonfruit!
