Three purple longbeans intersect to form a star on top of a pile of ripe yellowy-orange cherry tomatoes.
You’re a star! Purple yard-long Bodhi beans make an amazing edible garnish on lots of things, including buckets of sweet orange cherry tomatoes!

Today we’ve got freshly harvested and gently mixed salad greens in sweet, spicy, teen arugula and micro ‘flavors’; fresh Mediterranean figs, crispy cucumbers, bulb onions with the tops on, lettuce heads, heirloom tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, slicing tomatoes, escarole, endive, dandelion greens, beets, Bodhi yard-long purple beans, Italian basil, lemon basil, holy basil, cilantro, sage, local honey, and Feel-I’s vegan coconut based local fruit ice creams.

Saturday’s ARTfarm 10am-12noon! Get Greened!

Oh yes! We have salad greens! Although, perhaps calling them ‘greens’ is a bit disingenuous as they come in a variety of colors and shades. We open at 10am and the three earliest early birds can purchase a teaser half pint of sweet cherry tomatoes to add even more color to their salad. Don’t forget the cucumbers in all their various sizes, shapes and textures! We could eat salad like that for every meal and snack of the day!

Just harvested at ARTfarm, six different types of sweet lettuces range widely in texture, shape and color - from a spring green oak leaf to a fiery red ombre to a deep burgundy purple lettuce, and other greens and reds in between.
