We’re OPEN tomorrow Saturday at 10:30am for a POP-UP (no reservations, first-come first-serve) early season farmstand. Sweet salad mix and dragonfruit (red and pink)! Pink sweet ‘n’ spicy radishes, plus fresh herbs: Italian, Thai and lemon basils, lemongrass, small-leaf Italian oregano, and fresh juicy garlic chives. This is quick, just half an hour!

Thanks to all who came out for our ARTfarm ART exhibition December 1st and the closing party last weekend! If you missed it or purchased an artwork and want to pick it up, “Hope For the Future” at Studio Walsh gallery in Peters Rest is coming down Saturday. The gallery will be open for final viewing 10am -12 noon, and pickup 12 – 2pm.

Farm and garden volunteers are still needed. We have both meditative volunteering and/or cardio/workout volunteering possibilities. Call or email us! Non-smokers/non-vapers/non-tobacco users please.

Things are still quiet, so not expecting a throng. Looking forward to seeing you! Thank you so much.
