ARTfarm Monday, 3–6 p.m. Get Your Salad On!

After all of those Super Bowl chicken wings, it’s time to treat your body right with something healthy! Plus, after all those sports fans ate your salsa stash, you simply must replenish with more tomatoes and juicy limes… Sweet salad mix, baby spicy salad mix, baby arugula, cucumbers, loads of tomatoes in all colors, shapes and types, sweet bell peppers, radicchio, a handful of purple beans, cilantro, Genovese basil, lemon basil, parsley, scallions, radishes, passionfruit, and fresh zinnia flowers.

From our partners today: ice cream from I-Sha and limes from the Spring Gut Orchard.

We offer regulation inflated and deflated passionfruit (the slightly deflated ones are the sweetest).IMG_8071.JPG

Saturday 10am – 12noon Tomatofest!!

ARTfarm is awash in the juicy, sweet, flavorful fruits of the solanum lycopersicum plant! From the absolute candy-sweet explosion of a cherry tomato to the richness of the big juicy sandwich sized slicers and heirloom tomatoes to the mellow pungent complexity of a plum tomato, there are possibilities to be explored here! As with all harvests, it is a glorious but brief moment to enjoy, so get yourself over here this morning from 10 AM – 12 noon and enjoy this seasonal treat!

To go with your tomatoes: Sweet salad mix, spicy salad mix, teen arugula, baby arugula, baby spicy salad mix, microgreens, cucumbers, more tomatoes of all types, sizes and colors, purple yard long beans, kale, dandelion greens, beets, two types of radishes, sweet peppers, chili peppers, fresh ginger root, Italian basil, lemon basil, holy basil, lemongrass, dill, cilantro, mint, parsley, scallions, a few bunches of bulb onions, passionfruit and zinnia flowers.

From our partners: we have been regularly selling out of I-Sha’s vegan ice cream in unusual local fruit (and even vegetable) flavors and we have a new batch today! Miss Wanda Wright will bee here again this morning with her homemade salad dressings and meads (apeterif honey wines with fruit infusions) made from the bounty of her beehives. Also, to go with all the salsa and Bloody Marys you’ll be making, don’t forget to pick up a few kafir and key limes grown at Spring Gut Orchards.
