ARTfarm on St. Croix, USVI

Tomato Mondays! Due to the ridiculous amounts of tomatoes ripening, ARTfarm will open Mondays 3 till 4:30.

This will be a minimalist Monday-style farmstand with a short list of offerings: Tons of tomatoes all types including cherry tomatoes, lettuce heads, Italian basil, baby ginger, baby mango turmeric, baby turmeric and zinnias.

There will also be one bunch of dill for that guy who came on Saturday and swore he must have dill before Wednesday for his pickling project. Brother, we’ve got you covered. 

Think canning, think sauces, bringing a fresh salsa to your next party, pico de gallo, making your own ketchup, bloody Marys, pizza Margherita, BLTs, grilled cheese with fresh tomato slices… tomato wedges in a balsamic  vinaigrette with anchovies, caprese salad with goat chèvre instead of mozzarella, roasted, stuffed tomatoes, tomato dump cake, tomato at the beach eaten like a mango out of hand and then washing the juice off with a swim.

Did anybody lose these sunglasses at the farmstand? 

ARTfarm Saturday, February 8th, 10am – 12 noon: we have an abundance of all types of tomatoes. We are definitely not running out of tomatoes this Saturday. Beautiful heirlooms, huge slicers, 3 varieties of cherry tomatoes, wonderfully crunchy and thin skinned Japanese cucumbers, loads of sweet salad mix, teen arugula, teen spicy, broccoli, zucchini, carrots, radishes, onions, some eggplant, some sorrel and mildly spicy microgreens from Bob, baby ginger, baby turmeric, baby mango turmeric, all of our assorted spicy peppers and a few more seasoning peppers, Italian basil, Thai basil, holy basil, lemon basil, dill, cilantro, flat leaf parsley, tons of mint, garlic chives, rosemary, recao, broccoli leaves, Chinese cabbage, baby bok choy, dandelion greens, kale, and yes we will have more yellow and red fleshed watermelon!

ARTfarm will be serving up some farming inspired art at Walsh Gallery this Friday January 7th 2020.

Christina and Luca met at Parsons School of Design in NYC many years ago, and together with our offspring, creating art is one of our favorite activities. Mike and Barbara Walsh have been great supporters of the arts on St. Croix for many years. Artist Mike Walsh’s bronze, steel and aluminum sculptures will also be displayed. Huge special thanks to former ARTfarm employee Francis Capone for good vibes and assistance hanging the show.
