Heck yeah we’re open! We’ll be scurrying around putting seedlings under cover in case Maria gets rowdy, but will have plenty of MICROgreens, avocado, coconuts, water spinach, herbs, and sweet sweet mangoes for you today! Come on down to the ARTfarm and stock up on pre-storm bounty!
Cool your jets this morning at ARTfarm, 10am-12noon. We’ve got freshly harvested Asian water spinach, tiny crispy microgreens, giant creamy avocados, buttery mangoes, lemongrass aka fever grass for the perfect cooling drink, basil and garlic chives. Try breadfruit (have you ever made tostones? YUM!), green papaya (makes an amazing slaw) and sugar apple. And sweet, potassium rich coconut water fresh out of the nut (delicious mixed with lemongrass tea – take home half a dozen precut nuts and fill up a pitcher in your fridge!). As always, we have Sweetface handmade chocolates in a rainbow of flavors, and Feel I’s Ital Ice Creams. Not much breeze these days, so why not utilize some of nature’s cooling tricks?
We got a bunch of lino-block printing materials and tools to make new t-shirts for the farm. We haven’t had farm t-shirts since Southgate and it is time to bring sexy back!
Here’s the latest sketch that wound up as our ad for St. Croix This Week magazine, anybody want this on a shirt?
Things are pretty wet around here. Just when we think it is going to finally stop raining, it starts again. We had to cancel a school’s field trip visit to us today because it was just too muddy.
Hoping that the greens can tough it out and the abundant frogs locate the abundant caterpillars. We’ll be open for Saturday’s farmstand at 10am but it will be interesting to see what we can harvest! Hopefully it will dry out in the next few days.
