ARTfarm on St. Croix, USVI

Nature, full of tireless matriarchal nurturers, always inspires.

Wishing a very happy Mother’s Day to all of our nurturing, mentoring, powerful women. We cherish and celebrate their selfless giving that is so often taken for granted and yet makes life possible. Spoil them rotten tomorrow. Happy Mother’s Day Mom!

We love our bird population at ARTfarm. Integrated Pest Management or IPM is the science of controlling pests through the use of natural predators (instead of introducing toxic synthetic chemicals into our plants and soils). The ani bird, or Black Witch, is a great predator of foodcrop-destroying garden dwellers such as tomato hornworms, grasshoppers and even stink bugs (definitely an acquired taste).
