From our partners: we have beautiful avocados and butterball mangoes from Tita and from Alex at Tropical Exotics we will have Haitian kidneys, one of the new old favorite mangoes on St. Croix.
This will be our last farmstand for this summer. Thank you so much for a wonderful season. We are hoping to open towards the end of October or early November. We will be here this month and next, working and preparing, and trying to rest up a little!
With the summer drawing to a close, we will be open this and next Saturday, and then take a few weeks off. Most of the gardens will be put into a hibernation mode to allow nature to rejuvenate herself. Next year’s growing season is right around the corner, and we look forward to seeing everyone again around Halloween time.
Here’s what’s freshly harvested for you for Saturday morning: Sweet salad mix, teen spicy salad mix, teen arugula, sweet potatoes, fresh Mediterranean figs, sweet papayas, pineapples, dragonfruit, small bell peppers, Italian basil, Thai basil, lemon basil and garlic chives.
From our partner Tita we have beautiful avocadoes and amazing big stringless butterball mangoes! See you at the farmstand!

Don’t miss the summer camp production of the musical play “James and the Giant Peach” this weekend only, based on the book by Roald Dahl, at the James C. Savage theater at the old Good Hope school campus. Show starts at 8 PM, Friday, Saturday and Sunday evening. It is a thrilling story including an orphan boy, magic, giant sharks, an 8 1/2 foot long earthworm who likes to dance salsa, a highly sarcastic centipede and other friends. Tickets available at the door. Our own Farmer Christina took 2 1/2 weeks off to work as the costume designer. “I always loved the book, and insects are an important part of farm life. And what could be better than a bunch of beautiful children getting up on stage to tell a story and make you laugh?”
Come see this great family-friendly show and support the STARs Productions Summer Camp! Tickets are available at the door or online: http://m.bpt.me/event/2581160 $10 for children, $15 for adults.
