ARTfarm Wednesday Afternoon Farmstand! 2/11/2026, 4:30 – 5:30PM! Seconds tomatoes! Happy eggs!

Los Segundos. These later season, slightly blemished seconds tomatoes may not have the looks of a perfect tomato, but the flavor is even richer! Use them chopped, sliced or in soups and fresh salsas; can them, roast them, blend them in sauces… still delicious!

Hope everyone has been staying warm in the big chill. We’ve had some 72ºF days here. Lots of rain has caused a lot of tomatoes to split or crack. So there will be some bags of seconds tomatoes available tomorrow!

Tomorrow afternoon’s Wednesday ARTfarm stand features carrots, scallions, Mongoose & Zinnia eggs from happy winter hens, as well as slicer, heirloom and cherry tomatoes, watermelon for early bird customers, veggies and a diverse selection of sweet and/or spicy salad greens!

For those who just like to eat, we have fruit and herbs and a few veggies, too!

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

Stay cool, put a pinch of salt in everything, and see you Saturday 11:30am – 12:30pm!

Reimagining our sign!

ARTfarm Wednesday PM Longan & Dragonfruit Popup 8/7/24, 5:30 – 6:15pm

Low hanging fruit! We love it when people grow their own dragonfruit at home! Great job, Stacey!

Wednesday’s August ARTfarm PopUp features dragonfruit and once again, lots of luscious longan fruits. Also a few herbs and baby pineapple plants. It’s been just a handful of people so come with your gardening questions and keep the farmer company.

No reservations; first come, first served.

Plenty

Longan
Dragonfruit
Lemongrass
Turmeric
Pineapple slips

TBT: Roi collecting sunflower seeds. Piles of harvested pineapple slips await peeling and planting.
TBT: Our adopted border collies, Ginger and Spice (now 11!), vigilantly patrolling the pineapple gardens over the years to discourage rats. We’ve seen these athletic dogs leap all the way over the row of spiny plants during the hunt. This is still a viable and much more entertaining alternative to poisons for controlling crop pests on an organic farm. During dry times there is increased pressure from all pests on farm crops and resources. Good farm dogs make a world of difference.

Stay cool, and see you Wednesday afternoon! 5:30 – 6:15pm.
