Saturday Morning ARTfarmstand, Waterlogged Edition

Saturday Morning ARTfarmstand: Sweet mix, baby arugula, microgreens, baby spicy, cucumbers, tomatoes, garlic chives, Italian basil, lemon basil, Thai basil, holy basil, recao, dill, cilantro, lemongrass, sage, rosemary, thyme, parsley, beans, broccoli greens, dandelion greens, King Kong (the Asian water spinach, not the giant gorilla), honey, ice cream, bread, zinnia flowers, pineapples.

Due to heavy rains, we were not able to do any pre-harvesting on Friday morning. Some of this prodigious Friday night list of available produce for Saturday’s stand is dependent on the weather. Heavy rains and flooding are predicted for tonight and tomorrow (as of right now, WAPA is out on the South Shore and it is coming down). If the rains are too hard on the salad greens overnight, we may be slightly short on those items. Feel free to call us for availability if an excessive amount of salad mix is what you’re looking for. Everything else should be in good supply. We’ll be open rain or shine at 10 AM! See you then! One one thousand, two one thousand, three one thousand, four one thousand…BOOM

Wednesday Pineapplogy! Open 3-6pm Today!!

Sorry for any customers who showed up on Monday. Hope we didn’t frighten you with the bee suit. We have now stopped our Monday farmstands until next season. However, in keeping with our Crucian culture, we have not yet taken down the signs that say that we are open on Mondays. We will try and get to that this weekend!

For today’s Wednesday 3-6pm stand we have baby spicy greens, baby arugula, sweet mix and spicy mix, broccoli leaves, mustard greens, dandelion greens, tomatoes, cucumbers, long beans, garlic chives, Italian basil, Thai basil, lemon basil, holy (tulsi) basil, sage, lemon grass, recao, ice cream, honey, fresh baked bread. AND — woohoo — fresh figs and pineapples!!

ARTfarm Saturday Harvest! Open 10am – 12!

Saturday ARTfarm stand: Sweet mix, spicy mix, microgreens, bunched arugula, broccoli greens, kale, dandelion greens, Asian water spinach (Kan Kong), Italian basil, lemon basil, Thai basil, holy basil, lemongrass, garlic chives, cilantro, parsley, recao, sage, rosemary, onions, scallions, Bodhi beans, cucumbers, tomatoes, bread and bagels by Tess, ice cream, figs, zinnia flowers.

Big ups to the dozens of little teeny garden fairies who get up every Wednesday and Saturday at 5:30 AM and harvest this long list of stuff! We keep trying to get a picture of them for you but the wily, resourceful little beings wear these ridiculous hats made of assorted foliage that blend in with their surroundings. And, they’re only three inches tall. We’ll keep trying.

(Here’s Farmer Luca unloading another cart full of produce the fairies left him this morning!) 20130518-070857.jpg

ARTfarm Open Today

Oh yes, we are open today! From right now (3 PM) until 6 PM. A mountain of fresh sweet salad greens awaits you on the South Shore, along with spicy mix, baby salad mix, cucumbers, radishes, beets, onions, cabbage, pineapples, 4 kinds of basil, sage, dill, and the tail end of the tomatoes for the season. And, probably a bunch of other stuff we forgot to post about. It’s always a surprise at the ARTfarm! Come out and be surprised!

If you can figure out what’s different about Farmer Luca today from this photograph taken earlier in the season, tell us and get a free bag of sweet mix salad.
