ARTfarm miniFRUITY Saturday PopUp: 10/25/2025, 10:30-11:30am: Dragonfruit and Pomegranates!

After our usual hurricane season pause, a new round of dragonfruit is ready to enjoy, plus pomegranates and a few herbs! Come say hello to Farmer Luca and send your good vibes to this year’s tomato seedlings!

Interested in volunteering this season? Come talk with Luca about opportunities to learn and help out with things like garden preparation, raking, weeding and ongoing fence repairs from the fire. 

A new batch of dragonfruit is ripening on the ARTfarm vines. Our dragonfruit are sweet and juicy! Especially the ones with red and pink inner fruit!

In other farm news, in case you missed our September update: we are working on farm fire recovery, and a few lovely volunteers have continued to help us repair downed and destroyed fencing. 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.

  • Dragonfruit (red and pink inside!)
  • Pomegranate
  • Thai basil
  • Lemongrass

Beautiful late summer dragonfruits. These drought-tolerant pithayas are sweet and refreshing in the hot days of July, August and September! Sometimes all the way to Halloween!

The mango is a fruit that cannot be truly sampled outside of the tropical places where it grows. They can’t really travel. The many times we’ve tried eating them in the states, even from the most hoity-toity of supermarkets, it is just not the same experience whatsoever. A fresh mango is perfumy, succulent, intensely sweet, and highly diverse.

ARTfarm has a curated selection of delicious not-so-stringy grafted mangoes for you to try.

There are so many mango varieties. Textures, colors, smells and flavors.
