ARTfarm Wednesday Afternoon Farmstand! 2/11/2026, 4:30 – 5:30PM! Seconds tomatoes! Happy eggs!

Los Segundos. These later season, slightly blemished seconds tomatoes may not have the looks of a perfect tomato, but the flavor is even richer! Use them chopped, sliced or in soups and fresh salsas; can them, roast them, blend them in sauces… still delicious!

Hope everyone has been staying warm in the big chill. We’ve had some 72ºF days here. Lots of rain has caused a lot of tomatoes to split or crack. So there will be some bags of seconds tomatoes available tomorrow!

Tomorrow afternoon’s Wednesday ARTfarm stand features carrots, scallions, Mongoose & Zinnia eggs from happy winter hens, as well as slicer, heirloom and cherry tomatoes, watermelon for early bird customers, veggies and a diverse selection of sweet and/or spicy salad greens!

We’ll see you Wednesday 2/11/26 from 4:30 to 5:30PM! First come, first served. We should be on the regular for the rest of this month with Wednesdays and Saturdays.

ARTfarm Saturday AM: MiniStand… Tomatoes ON STRIKE, 3/1/2025, 11 – 11:30am

We are between tomato sets and need to catch up on some farm work to support the rest of the season. Truncated list of goodies for tomorrow. Green tomatoes are forming and should be available in another two weeks or so!

Temporary DOWNSIZE of what’s available, Saturday mid-morning farmstand is just half an hour tomorrow, 11am – 11:30am! It will be first come first served.

As we keep saying in these cooler months, 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. Volunteers have always been crucial elements of our system.

Our next set of chicks is here and we are building another moveable coop!

If you have reached out to us about volunteering and we haven’t gotten back to you yet please be persistent. This is our busiest time of year. We could still use your help. Just reach out again!

No reservations; first come, first served. We really appreciate your support.

Need to plant out the next succession of watermelon and cucumber.

Plenty

  • Mini butternut squashes
  • Baby ginger
  • Kaffir lime leaves and limes (fruit)

Early Birds
