ARTfarm on St. Croix, USVI

Wednesday farmstand at the ARTfarm, 3-4:30PM. We are sliding down the back of Snowbird Mountain. The crowds are shrinking, the grass is turning brown and a peacefulness is descending upon the valley. We will have: Tons of sweet salad mix, some teen arugula, some teen spicy salad mix, beautiful Japanese cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, dwindling amounts of heirlooms and slicer tomatoes, Italian basil, lemon basil, garlic chives, dill, cilantro, flat leaf parsley, mint, yummy cooking greens, all of our assorted spicy and seasoning peppers, baby ginger, baby turmeric, baby mango turmeric, baby shark, grandpa shark, scallions, onions, carrots, hopefully a little bit of yellow watermelon, and zinnia flowers. Doo doo dee doo doo doo

We attended a farming and fishery conference hosted by the VI EDA on Tuesday. Great information and inspiration. Your best health insurance is always to eat healthy and exercise, avoid stress and get good sleep, but one detail we learned, there is now a health insurance company writing individual ACA compliant policies in the territory for self employed folks. I think we’ve gone about 10 years where no one could acquire individual health insurance for themselves or their family. These plans appear not to be comprehensive health care but they are a new, relatively more affordable option. We felt this was big enough news to share and worth checking out, especially for those going with no health insurance whatsoever. Do your due diligence, we are not endorsing this company/product but just wanted to let people know that it’s out there. Check out the ‘evac’ plans from elan.insure. Omar Haedo, you’re welcome.

We look forward to seeing your healthy selves at the farmstand from 3 to 4:30pm!

Possibly our last Monday farmstand, business has been slow on Mondays.

Tons of cherry tomatoes, reduced amounts of slicer tomatoes, good amounts of heirloom tomatoes, sweet salad mix, Italian basil, garlic chives, mint, seasoning peppers, hot peppers, ginger, mango turmeric, red Hawaiian turmeric.
