ARTfarm Wednesday PM Longan Fruit Popup 7/24/24, 5 – 6pm

Bright neon pink dragonfruits have soft spiky 'scales' that give them their name.
Beautiful late summer dragonfruits. These drought-tolerant pithayas are sweet and refreshing in the hot days of July, August and September!

Pop-up farmstand on Wednesday – pump the brakes and watch out for the road clearing crews to the east of the farm, giving the South Shore a much needed trim! They’re going high and tight!

Longans at ARTfarm. These addictive little fruits pack a sweet crunchy juicy punch inside a leathery outer skin.

Another fruity pop-up summer ARTfarmstand on Saturday – the longan trees have exploded with fruit. Come out again on Saturday at elevenses ’til noon, and get your crunchy sweet longan groove on! They are gnot genips but in the fam of the rambutan…

We’ll have a few pineapple fruits, and plenty of slips available to try growing your own!

No reservations; first come, first served. We really appreciate your support.

Pineapples are typically a spring-summer treat that appear on the harvest list as the tomatoes begin to wane in the heat! They are a fairly drought resistant crop – try your hand at growing a few with our instructional video! How to Plant Your Pineapple Slips
