We have just about everything we grow (in winter) to offer at ARTfarm this morning. The only major items we are fresh out of are something witty to say…and cucumbers. We hope you can forgive us. 20140222-084917.jpg

Pick up on the South Shore this morning: sweet salad mix, spicy salad mix, microgreens, dill, cilantro, Thai basil, garlic chives, carrots, scallions, zinnia flowers, cherry tomatoes, slicer tomatoes, heirloom tomatoes, kale, dandelion greens, broccoli greens, a few passionfruit, kefir limes, and an assorted variety of incredibly beautiful chili peppers. Seriously. Even if you don’t like spicy hot food, you might want to buy these just to make your kitchen look amazing. 😉20140222-084932.jpg

Please, don’t make fun of Luca’s puffy face at the farmstand today. He got into a throwdown drag out fight with some ladies at the Ag Fair on Monday evening over the last bottle of discounted hot sauce.

And, for those of you still reading this, here is your art for Wednesday, entitled: “Ag Fair To-Do List”. 20140219-113519.jpg

ARTfarm Presidential Opening! 3–6 p.m.…

Happy holiday Monday! We know you guys already blew most of your Lincolns, Washingtons, Jacksons and Benjamins at the AgriFest this weekend, and bought other people’s tomatoes, but we just can’t think of anything else to do this afternoon, so ARTfarm is open today for our regular Monday afternoon farmstand. 3–6 p.m. And we take personal checks! Give us your John Hancock!

Today’s healthy, wealthy, wise haul, harvested early this morning: sweet salad mix, spicy salad mix, microgreens, teen arugula, garlic chives, bunched arugula, cherry tomatoes, slicer tomatoes, heirloom tomatoes, lots and lots of beautiful carrots with juice-able tops for you health nuts out there, and fresh juicy ginger root. Come out and shop with us on a Monday. There’s lots of bipartisan, across-the-aisle feel-good fellowship on the floor. Shake hands with your neighbors and kiss a baby! It’s President’s Day!
