ARTfarm Wednesday PM: Shades of Green… 3/12/2025, 5 – 6 PM

Teen spicy mix harvested fresh at dawn, in your fridge next day! Keep the air out of the bag and these will last a long time, to eat straight, mix with other salad greens, use as a garnish or bed for an entrée, wilt in a dish for a slight pepper flavor…

Things are drying up a little bit. But for this mid-week stand, we’ll once again have an abundance of salad greens and more tomatoes and watermelon. Come see us tomorrow afternoon, and enjoy all the peak season deliciousness.

It will be first come first served Wednesday. As usual, if the crowd looks thick, Farmer Luca may ration some items so no one goes home empty handed.

4pm Sundays is getting established as a meetup time slot for volunteers. If you’d like to join our little group, give us a call or send a text or reach out through social media or email. If you are 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.

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 recommend coming about halfway or later through the hour if you would like a shorter line. We really appreciate your support.

Watermelon is one of Luca’s favorite crops.

Plenty for All

  • Sweet salad mix
  • Teen arugula
  • Teen spicy salad mix
  • Sweet and spicy salad mix
  • Watermelon – red AND yellow!

Early Birds

  • Slicer tomatoes
  • Heirloom tomatoes
