ARTfarm Quick Popup Wednesday 9/6/2023, 5-5:30pm! Brought to you by the letter ‘L’! We’ve got Longan! Local Ground Lamb! Lemongrass! and Luscious Mangoes!

Longan fruits, shown whole and broken open to expose the flesh
Longan fruits, shown whole alongside two of the seeds.

Longan fruit is a southeast asian treat, and our trees are producing a bumper crop at the moment. The so-called dragon-eye fruit is similar to a kenip but sweeter, crunchier, and comes right off the shiny pit. They are a serious addiction! AND… we have Local ground Lamb from a neighbor’s farm, pastured raised and deLicious. We’ve also got some Luscious mango varieties from Dennis Nash, fresh harvested Lemongrass (aka fevergrass – a cooling tea to keep iced in your hydration toolbox), and some pineapple sLips for planting. Early bird specials include September plums and pastured eggs from Mongoose&Zinna. We will be open for a POP-UP (no reservations, first-come first-serve) farmstand in the afternoon, Wednesday, September 6, 2023, 5 – 5:30pm.

See you Wednesday!

ARTfarm Summer Popup Saturday 8/26/2023, 11 am – 12 noon!

Pitaya fruit is said to be high in magnesium, iron, fiber, and vitamins B2 and C. That means it can help with anxiety and insomnia and keep you healthy!

It’s going to be short, but sweet. Will be open today, Saturday August 26, 2023, for a POP-UP (no reservations, first-come first-serve) farmstand 11 am – 12 noon. We’re still busy behind the scenes at this time of year with maintenance, season prep, family stuff, and working hard to wrap up our WCK project. It’s really coming along! Today at 11am we’ll have:

Plenty of: dragonfruit, ginger root, lemongrass (fever grass), and Haitian kidney and Nam doc mangoes from Alex

A few: dozen eggs, pomegranates, bunches of Italian basil.

Because it’s a quieter time of year, we are not expecting a big crowd. Looking forward to seeing you! Thank you so much.

Unpeeled ARTfarm pineapple slips are priced according to size. From four dollars for the very largest down to one dollar for the smallest slips. These slips, unpeeled, can be stored for several weeks before planting. They are quite tough and hardy. These shown are $3, $2 and $1 each.

See you later!
