ARTfarm Blessedly Wet Wednesday, 3–6 p.m.

Yippee! It’s pouring rain over here at the farm. But will probably clear up by 3 PM when we open. Today we’ll have: Sweet mix, spicy mix, arugula, cucumbers, beautiful carrots, kale, chili peppers, honey, Wanda’s beekeeping goodies, fresh Mediterranean figs, and passionfruit.

Oh yeah, and thanks to customer Malerie Gleason for pointing out on Facebook that we forgot to mention tomatoes. Yes, we have tomatoes. Lots and lots of beautiful organically grown tomatoes.

Thanks for all your support! We appreciate every customer who comes through the gate. Couldn’t do it without you. 20140402-130909.jpg

ARTfarm Beauties Take The Crown!

Live from St. Croix’s South Shore: it’s the International Farmer Beauty Pageant, where Greg Botsford has just been crowned Miss Universal Root Vegetable for 2013! First runner up Luca Gasperi places a crown of kale gently on our winner’s head. “Of course I’m not bitter,” says Luca. “Greg deserved it. His tap dancing was incredible. How could my high speed origami folding demonstration hold a candle to that raw talent?”

Slicer tomatoes have been spotted ripening, soon come but not today…
