ARTfarm TODAY Wednesday big baby arugula Tiny Popup 1/8/25, 5 – 5:30pm

Baby spicy salad mix at ARTfarm. These tender greens have less pepper flavor than mature mustards and arugulas. Mix this with sweet lettuce to add flavor and interest, use as a garnish or ‘bed’ for an entrée item for a fancy plating of a dish, stir it into a broth at the last minute or wilt it on top of a dish as a cooked green, or just enjoy it as a salad or snack right out of the bag! Our baby greens are the tenderest of treats.

5 – 5:30pm!!

As usual at this time of year, it’s a great time to ask about volunteering on the farm, or tell a friend if you know someone who might be interested in learning more about sustainable, regenerative gardening practices — we would love some help in the gardens and with a few other tasks as well.

No reservations; first come, first served.

Delicious watermelons are coming

Happy holidays, everyone! 

ARTfarm NYE Tuesday: sweet/spicy SALAD MIXes, fruit & herbs! 12/31/24, 4:30 – 5:30pm

Tomatoes are forming and ripening!

Happy holidays all, here comes 2025! Tuesday afternoon we’ll have sweet salad mix, baby arugula and spicy mix! Also a few fruits and herbs for the early birds. New Years Eve ARTfarm PopUp 4:30 – 5:30pm

We’ve been trialing black paper mulch this year with the watermelons and tomatoes, and both are growing nicely and forming fruits. Caterpillars are starting to lessen their impact on young plants. Papayas are recovering and very productive.

Trialing black paper mulch on the ARTfarm in the 2024-2025 growing season. Seeing if it makes sense to phase out our reusable permeable woven plastic mulch we’ve used for years, for biodegradable material.
The Mongoose & Zinnia pastured chickens are thrilled with all the caterpillars and fresh grass in their moveable paddock.

See you Tuesday afternoon! 4:30 – 5:30pm.

ARTfarm Wednesday PM Longan & Dragonfruit Popup 8/7/24, 5:30 – 6:15pm

Low hanging fruit! We love it when people grow their own dragonfruit at home! Great job, Stacey!

Wednesday’s August ARTfarm PopUp features dragonfruit and once again, lots of luscious longan fruits. Also a few herbs and baby pineapple plants. It’s been just a handful of people so come with your gardening questions and keep the farmer company.

No reservations; first come, first served.

Plenty

Longan
Dragonfruit
Lemongrass
Turmeric
Pineapple slips

TBT: Roi collecting sunflower seeds. Piles of harvested pineapple slips await peeling and planting.
TBT: Our adopted border collies, Ginger and Spice (now 11!), vigilantly patrolling the pineapple gardens over the years to discourage rats. We’ve seen these athletic dogs leap all the way over the row of spiny plants during the hunt. This is still a viable and much more entertaining alternative to poisons for controlling crop pests on an organic farm. During dry times there is increased pressure from all pests on farm crops and resources. Good farm dogs make a world of difference.

Stay cool, and see you Wednesday afternoon! 5:30 – 6:15pm.

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!
