ARTfarm Wednesday Afternoon Farmstand: 4/22/2026, 4:30PM – 5:30PM

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 build platelets, 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!

We are moving into the slow season. No more regular Saturdays for a bit so schedule yourself to visit the farm for WEDNESDAY’s ARTfarm farmstand. The lines are getting shorter! Lots of sweet and spicy/sweet salad mixes for Wednesday customers, plus treats for early birds including baby arugula, baby spicy salad mix, a few slicer and heirloom tomatoes, hot and mild peppers, herbs and limes, snacking sweet carrots and cut flowers! Plus more!

Volunteers are welcome to help us clear out and tidy gardens for summer rest times. Mangoes are forming and we might have fruit in a few weeks. Pineapples are also coming ripe in the near future.

We’ll see you Wednesday 4/22/26 from 4:30PM to 5:30PM! First come, first served.

ARTfarm Haiku Wednesday 4/10/2024 – short and succinct

malabar chestnuts

Malabar chestnuts!
Green tops on things is over,
It’s getting drier.

Wednesday pop up stand,
First come first served vegetables,
Five to Five Thirty.

Come on out for a brief Wednesday afternoon pop-up farmstand from 5pm – 5:30pm at ARTfarm on the South Shore. We got some lovely rain showers last night. Thanks to Chef Lisa Coates for the haiku inspo.

There are farm goodies to be had as the tomato season wanes and we get into the fruitier time of year. Try a small bag of malabar chestnuts – these hazelnut sized treats are pre-hulled for you – beautiful to handle and look at, with a delicious delicate soft nut inside the stripy outer skin (you can easily crack on a solid surface and peel with your fingers). They can be enjoyed raw or roasted or cooked or made into flour… a fun snack.
