ARTfarm miniFRUITY Saturday PopUp: 10/25/2025, 10:30-11:30am: Dragonfruit and Pomegranates!

After our usual hurricane season pause, a new round of dragonfruit is ready to enjoy, plus pomegranates and a few herbs! Come say hello to Farmer Luca and send your good vibes to this year’s tomato seedlings!

Interested in volunteering this season? Come talk with Luca about opportunities to learn and help out with things like garden preparation, raking, weeding and ongoing fence repairs from the fire. 

A new batch of dragonfruit is ripening on the ARTfarm vines. Our dragonfruit are sweet and juicy! Especially the ones with red and pink inner fruit!

In other farm news, in case you missed our September update: we are working on farm fire recovery, and a few lovely volunteers have continued to help us repair downed and destroyed fencing. We are purchasing new electric fencing, irrigation equipment and other replacement supplies with funds donated for fire disaster relief. We are deeply grateful to all of you who donated, and thanks to the VI Good Food Coalition for all their hard work organizing and fundraising.

Volunteers, now is the time! Swing by during the farmstand, or send us a message – we’re gearing up for season.

Plenty on Saturday Morning:

  • Dragonfruit (red and pink inside!)
  • Pomegranate
  • Thai basil
  • Lemongrass

First come first served!

Grateful for your support of our family farm! See you Saturday morning 10:30-11:30am!

Bright neon pink dragonfruits have soft spiky 'scales' that give them their name.
Beautiful late summer dragonfruits. These drought-tolerant pithayas are sweet and refreshing in the hot days of July, August and September! Sometimes all the way to Halloween!

ARTfarm FRESH TUNA Saturday AM: 30+30=60 min. Ministand… 7/12/2025, 11am – 12 NOON. We stand corrected. Again.

Fisherman Christof will have a gorgeous yellowfin tuna in the morning. He’ll be slicing up tuna fillets and tuna steaks. Come early, with your cooler full of Olaf to put it on, and an extra bag for all the most amazing ARTfarm mangoes. Make a mango salsa to go with your fresh tuna. Sven will love it.

We know it is Mango Melee weekend, and we know that you’re all tired from Jump Up, and from the Frozen jokes and the bad math above, but you will have a particular advantage, even a bit of smugness, if you can attend Mango Melee having pre-stocked your kitchen with the most delicious South Shore mangoes on Saturday, freeing you on Sunday to wander the Botanical Garden, swinging your arms about to form your own personal breeze, recklessly unburdened by disproportionate purchases of the heavy sweet orbs of summer.

Smaller fruits in a dry season with extra flavor and sweetness!

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

Sometimes a fisherman stops by the farm and we collaborate. Christof will be there in the morning with this particular, beautiful yellow FINNED tuna. Bring your cooler and bring a bag of Olaf.

Be an early early bird tomorrow. But yet there is still plenty.

Plenty

  • Sweet salad mix
  • 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
  • Pomegranate (large pink Zürich-pleasing variety)
  • Seasoning and Serrano peppers
  • Large pink Daikon radishes
  • Turmeric

Early birds

  • Dragonfruit
  • Limes (garden-variety local type)
  • Lemongrass
  • Kafir leaves
  • Fresh tuna from fisherman Christof. He will be selling here at ARTfarm. He will have tuna fillets and tuna steaks available. Did we mention the TUNA?

First come first served! Grateful for your support of our family farm! See you Saturday 11am – 12 noon! A whole hour!! Don’t forget the cooler!
