Our baby spicy salad mix is a perfect treat as a side, a gorgeous garnish, as a mildly cooked green, eaten raw right out of the bag as a healthy snack, mixed with sweet salad greens to add interest and a hint of pepper. It’s versatile, beautiful and packed with nutrition.

ARTfarm NYE Tuesday: sweet/spicy SALAD MIXes, fruit & herbs! 12/31/24, 4:30 – 5:30pm

Tomatoes are forming and ripening!

Happy holidays all, here comes 2025! Tuesday afternoon we’ll have sweet salad mix, baby arugula and spicy mix! Also a few fruits and herbs for the early birds. New Years Eve ARTfarm PopUp 4:30 – 5:30pm

We’ve been trialing black paper mulch this year with the watermelons and tomatoes, and both are growing nicely and forming fruits. Caterpillars are starting to lessen their impact on young plants. Papayas are recovering and very productive.

Ask about volunteering on the farm, or tell a friend if you know someone who might be interested in learning more about sustainable, regenerative gardening practices — we would love some help in the gardens and with a few other tasks as well.

No reservations; first come, first served.

Trialing black paper mulch on the ARTfarm in the 2024-2025 growing season. Seeing if it makes sense to phase out our reusable permeable woven plastic mulch we’ve used for years, for biodegradable material.
