ARTfarm Saturday Fruit PopUp Farmstand! 5/30/2026, 10:30 – 11:30 AM

Giant, single mango harvest, November 2024

We’ll be open SATURDAY 10:30am to 11:30am, with early summer fruits, salad greens and more! Pineapples, mangoes and papaya, sweet salad mix, papaya, hot and mild peppers, herbs and kaffir limes! Check the list below for all the details.

We’ll see you Saturday 5/30/26 from 10:30AM to 11:30AM! First come, first served.

Delicious

  • Pineapples
  • Papayas
  • Mangoes, including Carrie, Viequen Butterball, Nam doc Mai and Malika
  • Kafir lime leaves
  • Hot peppers
  •  Scallions
  • Italian basil
  • Lemongrass
ARTfarm papayas are SO SWEET! Many folks shy away from papaya, but the fruit contains helpful enzymes to improve digestion. A papaya skin poultice was an old remedy for cuts and burns, and the leaves juiced are just about the bitterest thing you’ll ever consume but is taken to fight mosquito-borne rheumatic fever diseases like dengue and chikungunya. The unripe fruit makes a delicious slaw. If you haven’t been a fan, it is worth another try!

See you Saturday May 30th, 2026, starting at 10:30AM!

After our usual hurricane season pause, a new round of dragonfruit is ready to enjoy, plus pomegranates and a few herbs! Come say hello to Farmer Luca and send your good vibes to this year’s tomato seedlings!

A new batch of dragonfruit is ripening on the ARTfarm vines. Our dragonfruit are sweet and juicy! Especially the ones with red and pink inner fruit!

In other farm news, in case you missed our September update: we are working on farm fire recovery, and a few lovely volunteers have continued to help us repair downed and destroyed fencing. We are purchasing new electric fencing, irrigation equipment and other replacement supplies with funds donated for fire disaster relief. We are deeply grateful to all of you who donated, and thanks to the VI Good Food Coalition for all their hard work organizing and fundraising.
