ARTfarm Postseason Monday, 3–6 p.m.
Did anyone hear that wooshing sound about a week ago? It was the soft beating of the wings of the snowbirds taking off en masse and leaving St. Croix with its roadways practically deserted except for the triathletes.
It is that time of the year, as the sun burns brighter, the days grow longer and the nights hotter, when the farmstand lines at the ARTfarm are shortened, and we have lots and lots of delicious produce on Mondays.
Open today, 3–6 p.m.: Fresh pineapples! Super sweet papayas! Sweet corn! Passion fruit!

Lots of things are flowering (including our passionfruit vines) and the bees are going crazy! An eco-friendly way to get rid of a swarm of bees that are not desired in your home or yard is to call a beekeeper. They have special equipment and can remove the swarm safely to another location where they will happily continue to pollinate plants and make our world a sweeter and greener place. Purchase local honey, and you’ll always have the phone number of a nearby beekeeper right in your kitchen!
