ARTfarm Wednesday: Lots of Fruit! 3-6pm

Luca enjoyed being out in the rain showers this morning to harvest for you: Salad mix, microgreens, baby spicy salad mix, baby arugula, lots of cucumbers, onions, radishes, Italian basil, recao (a crunchy type of cilantro; Martha Stewart’s personal favorite), Cuban oregano, rosemary, super sweet papaya, passionfruit, Mediterranean figs, and kidney and Julie mangoes. From our partners: Nam Doc Mai mangoes from Tropical Exotics, dragonfruit from Solitude Farm, and honey from Errol Chichester!

It’s a perfectly beautiful day with a gorgeous post-shower blue sky. Take a break and come down the South Shore to get some fresh goodies for your table.

ARTfarm morning update… Nam doc Mai

Okay people. Nam doc Mai mangoes in the house. Creamy, yellow flesh and an unmistakable profile. Those in the know will be revving their engines and hitting the South Shore Rd. as soon as they read half of this email. 20140705-091932-33572601.jpgIf you did not see the dragonfruit video in our last email this morning, here is the link: I LOOOOOOVE dragonfruit

Love is in the Air… Dragonfruit in Love

Here is your Dragonfruit horoscope for today: Sometimes a juicy dragonfruit will split open right on the vine, giving the appearance of a smiling dragon head. This delicious, juicy wonderment elicits a deep passion within many people. If you happen to be a dragonfruit, look out for the affection of others… It can be all-consuming.

We have a huge box of locally grown dragonfruit (pitaya) for your holiday weekend today! Like revenge, they are a dish best served cold, so grab some and put them in the fridge to chill! (Yes, that is Farmer Luca singing in the video, and Christina on human beat box. Sweet!)

Saturday summer farm stand at ARTfarm, 10 AM – 12 noon: salad mix, microgreens, cucumbers; beets, radishes and onions with their beautiful edible green tops; Italian basil, recao, mint, thyme, papaya, passionfruit, pineapple, and Julie and kidney mangoes from ARTfarm. From our partners: Dragonfruit from Solitude Farm, fresh bread from Tess, raw local honey from Errol!
