Check out these yummy ingredients headed over to Chef Sean and his crew out at Duggan’s Reef Restaurant on the east end. We don’t know exactly what Sean’s going to do with our microgreens and figs, and he’s still creating some flavors in his mind… But you can be sure it’s going to be fresh and fantastic! Book a table for tomorrow night, and find out how this cliffhanger turns out!

Well, we said we were closing our farmstand for the rest of the summer on Wednesdays. But the fig trees did not get the memo! We have a lot of fresh figs that we are eager to distribute to hungry fig lovers!
So today, we will offer fresh organically grown ARTfarm figs in half pound, 1 pound, and 2 pound boxes. We will not be selling any other products today, just the figs from 5:30 to 6pm.
Figs are high in potassium and one of the fruits that is highest in fiber. It’s hard to believe, because they are so delicate and delicious. I have likened them to the flavor of a perfect sunrise, and I think that description still rings true.

(*If you can get a hold of either the Madagascar Vanilla, Soursop, or the Ginger Vanilla flavors from Jacky and Carole over at Jaccar Sorbet in Gallows Bay, and slice a bunch of fresh sweet figs on top of that creamy frozen perfection, you will be transported to another plane of existence. I can promise you from personal experience.)
