ARTfarm Wednesday Afternoon Farmstand: 4/29/2026, 4:30PM – 5:30PM

Companion planting is a key technique in permaculture and chemical-free farming.

We are moving into the slow season. No more regular Saturdays for a bit so schedule yourself to visit the farm for WEDNESDAY’s ARTfarm farmstand. Lots of sweet and spicy/sweet salad mixes for Wednesday customers, plus treats for early birds including fennel, a few slicer cherry and heirloom tomatoes, hot and mild peppers, herbs and limes, snacking sweet carrots and cut flowers! Plus more!

Volunteers are welcome to help us clear out and tidy gardens for summer rest times. Mangoes are forming and we might have fruit in a few weeks. Pineapples are also coming ripe in the near future.

ARTfarm papayas are SO SWEET! Many folks shy away from papaya, but the fruit contains helpful enzymes to improve digestion. A papaya skin poultice was an old remedy for cuts and burns, and the leaves juiced are just about the bitterest thing you’ll ever consume but is taken to build platelets, to fight mosquito-borne rheumatic fever diseases like dengue and chikungunya. The unripe fruit makes a delicious slaw. If you haven’t been a fan, it is worth another try!

We are moving into the slow season. No more regular Saturdays for a bit so schedule yourself to visit the farm for WEDNESDAY’s ARTfarm farmstand. The lines are getting shorter! Lots of sweet and spicy/sweet salad mixes for Wednesday customers, plus treats for early birds including baby arugula, baby spicy salad mix, a few slicer and heirloom tomatoes, hot and mild peppers, herbs and limes, snacking sweet carrots and cut flowers!

Pomegranate fruits!
Sweet, tart, juicy and healthy
Crunch the little seeds.

Wednesday pop up stand,
Sweet yellow watermelon,
Freak out your taste buds.

malabar chestnuts
Malabar chestnuts, or saba nuts, can be cooked or eaten raw. Yum!

All kinds of fruit are delicious on salads (and maybe, some malabar chestnuts too!). We have so much salad! The perfect little rain showers and cooler days have made it possible. Come on out for a one hour Wednesday afternoon pop-up farmstand from 5:30pm – 6:30pm at ARTfarm on the South Shore. Thanks again to Chef Lisa Coates for the haiku inspo.

As last week, there are farm goodies to be had as the tomato season wanes and we get into the fruitier time of year. Try a small bag of malabar chestnuts – these hazelnut sized treats are pre-hulled for you – beautiful to handle and look at, with a delicious delicate soft nut inside the stripy outer skin (you can easily crack on a solid surface and peel with your fingers). They can be enjoyed raw or roasted or cooked or made into flour… a fun snack.
