…some crazy chefs flew in from St. Thomas and started eating the Dragonfruit right off the vine. We had to smack their little hands and usher them away from the plant.
Sweet mix, baby arugula, microgreens, sweet salad mix, spicy salad mix, crispy cucumbers, Italian basil, fresh rosemary, fresh beautiful bananas, pineapples, passionfruit, tamarind pods, mangoes. From our partners, delicious vegan ice cream from Feel I and raw local honey from Errol.
Look at the sweet bounty! 
Sweet salad mix, microgreens, cucumbers, onions, beets, radishes, Italian basil, garlic chives, recao, dill, lemongrass, passionfruit, papayas, bananas and pineapples. From our partners: Julie & Malika mangoes from Alex, dragonfruit from Solitude Farm, ice cream from I-Sha (Feel-I), beautiful fresh bread loaves from Tess, and raw local honey from Errol!
Malika mangoes have a citrusy flavor mixed with sweet. The flavor almost reminds us of that 1960s space age powdered orange juice called “Tang.”
Never eaten a dragonfruit? Read a fun description on the blog of one of our favorite customers, the Crucian Contessa, describing her first encounter with a dragon fruit.
We harvest early in the morning on farmstand days because it’s the coolest time to work, and captures the crisp and cool evening moisture before it travels back down into the roots. Sometimes, Farmer Luca does a little dawn meditation in the cucumber patch. Wouldn’t you?
