Happy shiny Saturday! Today’s farmstand features tender microgreens, baby mix with lettuce, mangoes, scallions, garlic chives, Italian and lemon basil, lemongrass, kangkong (asian water spinach), Sweetface chocolates, coconut-based ice creams, and honey!
Amazingly, Luca was able to find one more row of lettuces that survived all the rains and so there will be lettuce in the baby mix today! This may truly be the last cut lettuce of the season.
We’ll see you all at our booth #7 at the Mango Melee tomorrow at the St. George Village Botanical Gardens! We’ll be there with farmer Aberra Bulbulla, selling mangoes, pineapple slips (baby plants), jackfruit, breadfruit, young fruit trees and more.
Come out to this fantastic annual event that takes place at the height of mango season on St. Croix, and taste all kinds of fruits, join the mango eating contest, and shop the many vendors: jams and jellies, tasty local foods, local fruit ice cream, jewelry and fashion, gifts, and fantastic plants and fruit trees for sale!
