ARTfarm’s got your greens! Get ’em 3pm – 5:30pm today, Wednesday!!

 

It’s the return of Wednesday afternoon ARTfarmstands! Come out and see us this afternoon, October 26th, from 3 to 5:30pm!

Yellowish green, pinecone-like sugar apples (sweetsop) of various sizes in a basket.
Yellowish green, pinecone-like sugar apples (sweetsop) are eaten fresh and ripe. Kids love the sweet flavor, and the seeds are large, hard and shiny. Like watermelon seeds, they're perfect for spitting at your sister.

We’ve got sweet and spicy salad mixes, microgreens, baby arugula, asian water spinach, lemongrass, garlic chives, fresh big bunches of basil, sweet ripe papayas, ripe local bananas, sugar apples, limes and fresh cut-to-order coconuts you can drink with a straw at the farmstand or take home and chill in the fridge.

We also have Black Olive trees, and other native tree varieties, for sale in one and three gallon pot sizes. These are drought and disease tolerant shade trees. Ask for more information at the stand!

Happy ARTfarm mom and kid with the ARTfarm sign. "Get Your Greens!"
ARTfarm is getting some new signs this season. Yay!

We’ve missed you! The pond isn’t quite finished yet due to some shipping complications, but lots of other projects got done, Ronnie Mae is back, and we have lots of new farm experiments going on this year with new crops and varieties sure to keep you interested for the entire season!

ARTfarm Closing for a Quick End-Of-Summer Break…

This morning’s farmstand was our last for a few weeks. We’ve got to focus our full attention on some big projects, to make the farm more productive and sustainable in the coming seasons.

We’ll reopen in mid-October with a new rainwater catchment pond, some new signs, some new artwork in the ARTbarn and sheep grazing in our pastures! We’re seeding many crops for this coming fall and winter’s harvest now, starting a new batch of native trees from seed, and playing with a few experimental crops including local roasting corn and fig trees. Stay tuned for updates.

If you have some time to spare or know anyone with an interest in and enthusiasm for sustainable farming, we are always looking for reliable nonsmoking volunteers and workers who’d like to help out and learn something new. (It’s not ALL shovelling rocks!) Give us a call at (340)514-4873 or pass our website along to those who might be interested: artfarmLLC.com.

Last ARTfarm Wednesday Stand for a few weeks! 4:30-5:30pm
