ARTfarm Delicious Saturday PopUp: 8/9/2025, 11am – 12 noon: Cool Cukes, Sweet Salad and a few more Mangoes!

ARTfarm Mango season is winding down, but volunteering is starting back up! Christof may be back with more fresh fish, as well. Come and see us on Saturday at 11am! List below:

Tita’s Viequan Butterball mangoes…

(Most of our mangoes are smaller this year with the drier conditions which creates an extra intense flavor and sweetness)

Plenty

  • Sweet salad mix
  • Japanese cucumbers! Yum!
  • Valencia Pride mangoes (popular variety with an elongated shape and bright flavor)
  • Viequen Butterball mangoes
  • Haitian kidney mangoes
  • Mallika mango (tastes like a super sweet and creamy orange, one of Luca’s favorites)
  • Alphonso mangoes (popular Indian variety)
  • Carrie mangoes (too delicate for stores)
  • Turmeric

Early Birds

  • Pomegranate (large pink “Chinese Apple” that is definitely not a mango)
  • Limes

First come first served! Grateful for your support of our family farm!

Hey folks, despite the wetness and rain Farmer Luca will be open 5 to 6 this afternoon with lots of goodies, veggies and watermelon. Enjoy!

Red radishes with green tops
Ravishing Radishes – They grow faster than the bugs can keep up with! The crunchy bottoms can be eaten raw (peppery) or used as a root vegetable cooked (mild). The tops are more nutritious than the root, and can be used as salad or cooking greens. Some folks make smoothies with them! Don’t waste an inch of this mighty veggie! We love them sliced thin in oil and vinegar with a pinch of salt.

Plenty
