Come on by and see us this afternoon! Farmer Luca has for you: Sweet salad mix, arugula, spicy salad mix, lots of red slicer tomatoes, some cherry tomatoes, a little bit of kale, summer squash, a few cucumbers and green bell peppers. Lots of figs(!!!), Italian basil, cilantro, dill, garlic chives, hot green serrano peppers, some passionfruit, and lots of fresh cut zinnia flowers.
The season may be a short one for us this year due to the lack of substantial rainfall, so get it while the getting is good.
Sometimes one of the cherry tomatoes has “crazy eyes”. We are located on the south shore of St. Croix between Hapenny beach and the Boy Scout camp.
See you this afternoon! Thank you so much for your support.
The 2015-2016 season is picking up steam at the ARTfarm. We plan to add a second checkout point in the morning to help move the line along faster! Thanks for your patience –we know that, as much as you enjoy catching up with friends and neighbors in the Saturday queue, you have other things to do!
Farmer’s Wife Christina, hauling in a mighty load of fresh veg!
Beautiful kale, full of vitamin C and iron. Delicious raw, cooked, in soups and omelettes, anywhere you’d use spinach, or tossed with sea salt and olive oil and baked in the oven until crispy. We kid you not; kale chips are all the rage with the young people.
Craving a crunchy snack? Carrots and radishes are your nutritious answer. Don’t forget to eat or juice the generous leafy tops. Radish greens are particularly delicious wilted on top of a hot dish.
As usual on Saturdays, we will be open 10 AM – 12 noon. A few new folks have requested directions to the farm, which are available on our website here: https://artfarmllc.com/eat-our-food/farmstand/

It’s really a tossup over which one is cheerier: Heather, or a riot bouquet of zinnias in a million bright colors…
It’s a New Year! Welcome to 2016!! We resolve to bring you as much organically grown fresh local produce as we possibly can! if you’re not out shaking your bana at the adult parade in the morning, come and see us at 10am…
Sweet salad mix, teen spicy salad mix, baby and teen arugula, lettuce heads;
Three types of kale, cherry tomatoes, red slicing tomatoes, slicing cucumbers and wild little gherkins, yellow and green summer squash, carrots, radishes and sweet corn;
Italian basil, Thai basil, lemon basil, holy basil, recao, rosemary, mint, green serrano hot peppers, cut flowers and a few figs. Hang in there baby! Here is a motivational poster for 2016: a young stink bug, generally considered a very destructive “Darth Vader” bug, turns into a good guy when he starts eating caterpillars in the garden. It is a battle of good and evil, of the Jedi Knights against the Dark Side. Feel the force. Use your evil powers for good. Transform yourself in 2016! And by all means, bite off more than you can chew!
