ARTfarm Saturday AM: all the SALAD mixes, WATERMELON & MORE… 1/25/25, 11am – 12 noon

Scrumptiously sweet yellow watermelon at ARTfarm.

Hello good people! We are finally getting rolling this season with Saturdays. We are not going to do reservations at this point. It will be first come first served. We are a little understaffed as some of our regular helpers have not been available.

As usual at this time of year, 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. Profit margins for organic produce are surprisingly thin for a small mom and pop organic farm operation, and volunteers have always been crucial elements of our system.

Big thanks to the Americore group for their help prepping and planting pineapples!

No reservations; first come, first served. We really appreciate your support.

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…

ARTfarm NYE Tuesday: sweet/spicy SALAD MIXes, fruit & herbs! 12/31/24, 4:30 – 5:30pm

Tomatoes are forming and ripening!

Happy holidays all, here comes 2025! Tuesday afternoon we’ll have sweet salad mix, baby arugula and spicy mix! Also a few fruits and herbs for the early birds. New Years Eve ARTfarm PopUp 4:30 – 5:30pm

We’ve been trialing black paper mulch this year with the watermelons and tomatoes, and both are growing nicely and forming fruits. Caterpillars are starting to lessen their impact on young plants. Papayas are recovering and very productive.

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.

No reservations; first come, first served.

Trialing black paper mulch on the ARTfarm in the 2024-2025 growing season. Seeing if it makes sense to phase out our reusable permeable woven plastic mulch we’ve used for years, for biodegradable material.
The Mongoose & Zinnia pastured chickens are thrilled with all the caterpillars and fresh grass in their moveable paddock.

See you Tuesday afternoon! 4:30 – 5:30pm.
