ARTfarmMangosSaturday AM: 30 min. Ministand… 7/19/2025, 11am – 11:30am

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.

(Most of our mangoes are smaller this year with the drier conditions which creates an extra intense flavor and sweetness)

Plenty

  • Thai mangoes (nam doc mai, of the silky smooth sweet flesh thin seed variety)
  • Jakarta mangoes (possibly the prettiest and tastiest yet least documented mango)
  • Viequen Butterball mangoes
  • Haitian kidney mangoes
  • Mallika mango (tastes like a super sweet and creamy orange, one of Luca’s favorites)
  • Alphonso mangoes (popular Indian variety)
  • Carrie mangoes (too delicate for stores)
  • Pomegranate (large pink “Chinese Apple” that is definitely not a mango)
  • Turmeric

First come first served! Grateful for your support of our family farm! See you Saturday 11 – 11:30am!

Nam doc Mai mango

ARTfarm Open 7/16/2025 Wednesday 5 to 5:30PM, Mangoes For Miles Mini Popup!

Farmer Luca will be open 5 to 5:30 pm Wednesday at the farm with many many mangoes… plus pomegranates and turmeric. Enjoy!

Our ARTfarm mango trees have officially recovered from Hurricane Maria. Left to right: Butterball, Jakarta, Mallika, Haitian kidney, Nam doc mai, Carrie

(Most of our mangoes are smaller this year with the drier conditions which creates an extra intense flavor and sweetness)

Plenty

  • Thai mangoes (nam doc mai) – silky smooth yellow buttery flesh, thin seed
  • Jakarta mangoes – possibly the prettiest and tastiest mango
  • Mallika mangos – big and green, taste like a super sweet and creamy orange, often compared to the drink “Tang“, one of Luca’s favorite mangoes
  • Viequen Butterball mangoes – this is a monster big pound and a quarter mango in a good year, but sweet and buttery and almost completely textureless. You can just eat it with a spoon right out of the cheek. Similar to a Clinty Lang.
  • Haitian kidney mangoes – not to be confused with regular kidney mangoes that are really hairy. These are bigger, with a bit of texture, but not sticking in your teeth. Has a little lemony vibe, mild and warm.
  • Carrie mangoes – rare variety that’s quite delicate, so never sold in stores, but outrageous in flavor with a lack of fiber
  • Pomegranates – large pink, Zürich’s fave
  • Turmeric

First come first serve.

We named this mango the ‘Viequen Butterball’ for its size, sweet mellowness and lack of fiber. Tita would bring us these mangoes.

Hey folks, despite the wetness and rain Farmer Luca will be open 5 to 6 this afternoon with lots of goodies, veggies and watermelon. Enjoy!

Red radishes with green tops
Ravishing Radishes – They grow faster than the bugs can keep up with! The crunchy bottoms can be eaten raw (peppery) or used as a root vegetable cooked (mild). The tops are more nutritious than the root, and can be used as salad or cooking greens. Some folks make smoothies with them! Don’t waste an inch of this mighty veggie! We love them sliced thin in oil and vinegar with a pinch of salt.

Plenty
