We harvest early in the morning on farmstand days because it’s the coolest time to work, and captures the crisp and cool evening moisture before it travels back down into the roots. Sometimes, Farmer Luca does a little dawn meditation in the cucumber patch. Wouldn’t you? 
Sweet salad mix, baby spicy salad mix, microgreens, baby arugula, onions, sweet corn, cucumbers, Italian basil, beets, radishes, papaya, pineapple, passionfruit, and treats from our partner farms: honey from Errol, ice cream from Feel I, and mangoes from Tropical Exotics.

Today we bring you the wondrous and rare Mamey Apple. Come and enjoy a taste, and take home one of these delicious globes of fruity wonder. The brown, rough skin easily peels off to reveal its golden orange firm flesh inside. The taste has hints of apple, papaya, mango – it has a citrusy tang on the finish and a slightly mealy and firm texture like an apple or a pear. The mamey apple is a relatively rare fruit, not widely cultivated. So it is an especially fantastic local treat. Try one! From Alex Etienne’s Tropical Exotics farm.
