Sorry we skipped a few updates this past week. We’ve been too busy farming to post, but we’re open rain or shine, Monday & Wednesday afternoons and Saturday mornings! Tomorrow morning, 10am-12 noon: Lots of microgeens!! Spicy mix, teen arugula, lots of cucumbers, cooking greens, lots of slicer, heirloom and cherry tomatoes, zinnia flowers, purple yard long bodhi beans, crunchy sweet red beets, onions, scallions, garlic chives, all the basil flavors, cilantro, parsley, and papayas.
ARTfarm OPEN on MONDAYS! Happy New Year!
We’re now open every Monday, 3-5:30pm. We’ll have big ripe heirloom slicer tomatoes, sweet cherry tomatoes, three varieties of fresh picked lettuce heads, basil in three flavors: lemon, holy and italian, garlic chives, cilantro, cucumbers, cooking greens, papayas, and colorful zinnias. We have yellow pear cherry tomato plants for sale, ready to put in a pot or your garden! And spicy salad mix for one or two early birds.
We still have a few of our reusable ARTfarm shopping bags left! $7 for the regular size (replaces up to four disposable plastic grocery bags) and $10 for the really big ones (can work as a beach bag too). They stuff into their own cute tiny little stuff sacks with a tiny carabiner to clip onto your keys or toss into your purse. We used our ChicoBags for years for our own grocery and other shopping, and decided to get some for our customers to try. Kick the plastic grocery bag habit in 2012 with us!
Our farmstand schedule still includes Wednesday afternoons, 3 – 5:30pm, and Saturday mornings, 10am – 12 noon.
ARTfarm OPEN Xmas Eve Morning, 10am-12noon!
If you missed us on Wednesday, come out Saturday to ARTfarm for more tomatoes, cucumbers, herbs, cooking greens, chocolates, our new reusable bags, local honey and other little treats and stocking stuffers! Merry merry!
Happy Solstice from ARTfarm… Tomatoes galore at the farmstand today!
For today’s farmstand at 3pm we have boatloads of tomatoes in holiday colors, a pineapple or two for a lucky early bird, and fresh greens to go with them! Herbs, salad mixes, cucumbers, flowers, all our amazing fresh stuff…
In 2012 we are going to move away from the use of plastic grocery bags at our farmstand. For years we have had a revolving system where customers bring in their clean grocery bags and share them with each other for their shopping. We figure if our customers have a snazzy and convenient, strong and roomy reusable, washable shopping bag to use here at ARTfarm AND at the grocery store, none of us will feel justified in picking up all those bags at the grocery store, and we can end the plastic grocery bags’ carbon footprint and inevitable journey to the landfill.
To make it easy to switch, we have some stylish reusable shopping bags for sale at the farmstand today, with a great ARTfarm design on it — for less than the cost of a tee shirt. They stuff down tiny to fit in your bag, and are lightweight with a little snap so you can even keep it on your keychain. Throw them in the laundry to wash. They’d make great holiday gifts and stocking stuffers – so cute!
Happy Solstice! And YES, we will be open Christmas Eve morning!!
