Have you noticed it getting drier, windier and hotter this month? Normally things would dry up in January or earlier, but we’ve been blessed with an extended rainy season this year. On the south shore of St. Croix, the air smells different. Pastures are starting to dry up quickly and the hills are changing from a vibrant green to some more muted shades that are shifting into gold and brown. We are watering our crops more often. As the tomatoes get more flavorful on the vine, the mango flowers are starting to set fruit for June.
All this dry heat means that it is time to treat ourselves to a delicious cold frosty Feel I ice cream!! YES! It’s back!! Today we have Feel I’s mango, guava, passionfruit, and banana flavors, all made from local fruit and local coconut cream – no dairy. Get one of each!
We’ve got Sweetface chocolates, too, if you need darker decadance.
If you’re feeling more savory, we’ve got baby spicy salad mix, sweet mix, cherry and big tomatoes, cucumbers, pumpkin, scallions, garlic chives, sage, green coriander, Italian basil, sweet and hot peppers.
For a pop of color, go for a bunch of fresh cut zinnias, a sunflower or two, and a papaya!
See you this afternoon, 3-5:30pm.
Look at those smiling faces! Sweet, organically and sustainably grown heirloom tomatoes have a flavor that reflects their happy childhood on the vine in a beautiful garden!
Also today: sweet mix, lemon basil, holy basil, Italian basil, parsley, bodhi beans, cucumbers, cooking greens, pumpkin, garlic chives, lemongrass, dill, sage, thyme, onions, lots of big tomatoes, heirlooms, cherry tomatoes, sweet bell peppers, hot peppers, papayas, chocolates, and bright cheery zinnia flowers fresh cut for you!
The tomatoes won’t last forever (the mango trees are flowering!!) so come and enjoy some while the season is still in full swing!
