ARTfarm Wednesday PM: pep in your step with PEPPERS and tomatoes and salad mix… 2/19/2025, 5 – 6 PM

Jalapeño peppers, just about ready!

Tomatoes and salad! Enjoy the bounty of this winter season.

Wednesday afternoons and Saturday mid-morning are starting to be more regular. Still holding off on the timeslot reservations at this point. It will be first come first served Wednesday. If the crowd looks thick, Farmer Luca may ration some items so no one goes home empty handed.

As we keep saying in these cooler months, it’s a great time to ask about volunteering on the farm, or tell a friend if you know someone who might be 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 really appreciate your support.

Be a sustainability hero! Volunteer at the ARTfarm and help us sequester carbon and improve the diets of all!

ARTfarm Wednesday PM: SALAD options, heirloom TOMATOES, CAIMITO star apple fruits… 2/12/2025, 5 – 6 PM

The Caimito (star apple) fruit tastes like a sweet and juicy cross between a cantaloupe and lychee. They become slightly soft when ripe with a sweet smell. It can be eaten out of the skin, added to salad, made into ice cream or jam, or added to smoothies. Lurking in the background are two kaffir limes. These are delicious and they have plenty of rind if you need fragrant citrus peel.

Have you tried a star apple? Not a star fruit (carambola) or a malay apple (wax jambu) but a star apple (caimito)! It’s in the sapote family, and we have some sweet ones. The sweet juicy flavor has been described “…as if a cantalope and a lychee had a fruit baby!” They are often purple, but we have the green ones and they are ripe and ready!
