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.

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.

ARTfarm Saturday AM: Longan & Dragonfruit… 7/20/24, 11am – 12 noon

Longans at ARTfarm. These addictive little fruits pack a sweet crunchy juicy punch inside a leathery outer skin.

Another fruity pop-up summer ARTfarmstand on Saturday – the longan trees have exploded with fruit. Come out again on Saturday at elevenses ’til noon, and get your crunchy sweet longan groove on! They are gnot genips but in the fam of the rambutan…

We’ll have a few pineapple fruits, and plenty of slips available to try growing your own!

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

Pineapples are typically a spring-summer treat that appear on the harvest list as the tomatoes begin to wane in the heat! They are a fairly drought resistant crop – try your hand at growing a few with our instructional video! How to Plant Your Pineapple Slips
