ARTfarm on St. Croix, USVI

ARTfarm will be represented* at this weekend’s Ag Fest – look for our products at Sejah Farm’s booth in the Farmers’ Pavilion! We will not have a booth. Instead we will be open for your convenience from 10 to 12 on Saturday at the usual spot on South Shore Road.

Saturday farmstand: loads and loads of tomatoes especially heirloom tomatoes, of course plenty of slicing tomatoes and cherry tomatoes as well, tons of sweet mix (will not run out), a couple of watermelons, lots of butternut and Thai pumpkin, scallions and onions, some broccoli, French radishes, some bunches of beets, lots of carrots, escarole, tons of beautiful baby ginger, baby turmeric, all of our seasoning peppers and hot peppers, fresh figs, dandelion greens, garlic chives, dill, cilantro, Italian basil, Thai basil, papaya, and colorful zinnias!

*Some of our black plum cherry tomatoes, some slicing tomatoes, lettuce heads and baby ginger will be at Sejah Farm’s stand at the fair. Luca and family are, as always, very excited to go to the fair and support our fellow farmers. It’s one of our favorite events. We don’t have the staff to run our regular weekend and Monday farmstands AND run a booth at the fair, so we don’t patticipate as a business. Hope to see our customers at the fair and at our farmstand!

Wednesday farmstand, 3-4:30pm: The tomato plants this year are unbelievably productive. We’ve been harvesting very large quantities of big beautiful sweet juicy slicer tomatoes, and tons and tons of yellow, orange, purple, and red cherry tomatoes; plus sweet tender heirloom tomatoes, the last of our sweet corn, juicy watermelon, crunchy radishes, bunny-thrilling carrots, onions so good they’ll make you cry, cooking greens loaded with nutrients, dandelion greens, escarole, rich creamy Thai pumpkin, last of the small butternut winter squashes, baby ginger and turmeric, seasoning peppers, yellow chili peppers, Thai chili peppers, serranos and green bell peppers, cilantro, dill, Italian parsley, Thai basil, garlic chives, cheery zinnias.

Early birds may score some figs and some broccoli. Late birds will get most of almost everything and enjoy easy parking, zen-like calm and relaxed conversation with the farmer. Plus, occasional late bird specials and surprises. 😂 Stay healthy, eat your veggies!

Simple and fresh for the farmstand Monday: sweet salad mix, tons of tomatoes all types, lots and lots of cherry tomatoes, lettuce heads, baby ginger, baby turmeric, Thai pumpkin, and Italian basil. See you there, 3-4:30pm!

We are at the very peak of our tomato season, literally harvesting hundreds and hundreds of pounds each week. Saturday farmstand tomato fun continues with all types of tomatoes in very large quantities. We’ll have tomatoes til’ the end of the farmstand Saturday morning, and don’t be surprised if you get home and find a few extra red rascals have been slipped into your bag by the farmstand fairies!

We have: loads of fresh sweet salad mix, teen arugula and teen spicy salad mix in the cooler, romaine-lettuce-like heads, watermelon, scallions, the first of our onions, baby French radishes, carrots, hopefully a few bunches of beets, plenty of fresh herbs including dill, cilantro, parsley, Italian basil, lemon basil, Thai basil, garlic chives, beautiful baby ginger and baby turmeric, sweet papaya, all of our small peppers both hot and sweet including beautiful seasoning peppers, a few heads of broccoli, cooking greens, dandelion greens, a little bit of escarole, Thai pumpkin, butternut, Guatemala blue winter squash, and zinnia flowers. Earlybirds will get their pick of the limited supply of figs and cucumbers.

See you down the South Shore 10 AM to 12 noon. Thank you for your support!
