ARTfarm Wednesday Stand: Purple Yard Long Beans & MORE

A happy face on a bed of orange sungold cherry tomatoes is made from pink zinnia flower eyes, a sweet green pepper nose, and purple long bean smile.
Purple long beans are sweet crunchy stringbeans. They're great marinated and then chopped into a salad! Chef Eric "Dreads" Nielsen from Savant Restaurant sometimes circles the veggie curry plate with a few!

ARTfarm OPEN on MONDAYS! Happy New Year!

Farmer Luca Gasperi reaches into a harvest bin full of ripe cherry tomatoes at ARTfarm.
2011-2012 has been a particularly great season for tomatoes. The plants are growing in areas that have had natural organic soil amendments for the last two years, and the record rainfall and cool temperatures have combined to make the plants super productive!

We’re now open every Monday, 3-5:30pm. We’ll have big ripe heirloom slicer tomatoes, sweet cherry tomatoes, three varieties of fresh picked lettuce heads, basil in three flavors: lemon, holy and italian, garlic chives, cilantro, cucumbers, cooking greens, papayas, and colorful zinnias. We have yellow pear cherry tomato plants for sale, ready to put in a pot or your garden! And spicy salad mix for one or two early birds.

We still have a few of our reusable ARTfarm shopping bags left! $7 for the regular size (replaces up to four disposable plastic grocery bags) and $10 for the really big ones (can work as a beach bag too). They stuff into their own cute tiny little stuff sacks with a tiny carabiner to clip onto your keys or toss into your purse. We used our ChicoBags for years for our own grocery and other shopping, and decided to get some for our customers to try. Kick the plastic grocery bag habit in 2012 with us!

Our farmstand schedule still includes Wednesday afternoons, 3 – 5:30pm, and Saturday mornings, 10am – 12 noon.
