We have been in a NOAA level three extreme drought since July 2026, which is unusual and has depleted soil moisture and water tables dramatically across the territory over the summer and continuing over half of what are normally the three wettest months of the year. Despite this mother nature has given us juicy mangoes and dragonfruits to share with you.
A few moons have passed since the last post from us. The drought is continuing and the ponds are very low that we use for our irrigation. 
We’ll be open SATURDAY 10:30am to 11:30am, and Farmer Luca will be there with just two items:
• Alphonso mangoes
• Dragonfruit in red and pink
We’ll see you Saturday 10/17/26 from 10:30AM to 11:30AM! First come, first served.
Delicious mango and dragonfruit make a very tasty sorbet together! Or just enjoy them on their own!
See you Saturday October 17th, 2026, starting at 10:30AM! And don’t forget about Bush Cook at Sejah Farm this weekend!
As always we appreciate your support of our small farm! xoxo, Farmer Christina
Another round of dragonfruit is ready to enjoy, plus west end vibes with Palmer mangoes from Mount Victory! Come out and enjoy!
Interested in volunteering this season? Come talk with Luca about opportunities to learn and help out.
Father and son goofing around in September. Kiko isn’t working so much anymore but he still strolls around the farm a bit.
In other farm news, we are working on farm fire recovery, and we’re looking for a 20′ shipping container in good shape with no holes to store replacement materials that were lost in the massive fire in March 2025.
We are purchasing new electric fencing, irrigation equipment and other replacement supplies with funds donated for fire disaster relief. We are deeply grateful to all of you who donated, and thanks to the VI Good Food Coalition for all their hard work organizing and fundraising.
Volunteers, now is the time! Swing by during the farmstand, or send us a message – we’re gearing up for season.
