Sign Up For Salad & Tomatoes! ARTfarm Sat., 10am – 12noon!

Please admire our improved signs on your way in this morning! IMG_7709-0.JPGIMG_7712.JPGIMG_7711.JPG
Lettuce tell you about today’s harvest: sweet salad mix, teen spicy salad mix, baby arugula, and microgreens. Over in the tomato department we’ve got lovely heirlooms, paste tomatoes, slicers, and a few types of cherries! The veggie aisle at ARTfarm has crispy cucumbers, poetic beets, crunchy radishes, early bird sweet corn for the first few customers, lettuce heads, escarole, sweet peppers, assorted chili peppers, kale; the herb garden offers Italian basil, holy basil, lemon basil, dill, cilantro, parsley, garlic chives, recao, mint, lemongrass, and tender young ginger root. In fruit and home decor we’ve got gorgeous bright zinnia flowers and tangy passionfruit.

In the frozen section you’ll find I-Sha’s homemade vegan all-local coconut based, miraculously creamy non-dairy ICE CREAM in far-out local flavors from avocado to beet-ginger to locust bean to soursop. Always fun to see what Feel-I has come up with next!

We had a great visit from a former ARTfarm employee over the holidays and she managed to put in a few hours helping us out! We named a key garden after Maria years ago so it’s kind of like she never left! IMG_7710.JPG
Happy New Year! Thanks for shopping local and supporting family farms.

ARTfarm Holiday Happiness Saturday 10am-12 noon!

The Christmas winds have brought rainbows, dramatic skies, sweet night time rains and excellent growing conditions to the farm.

For Christmas Third Day, we have freshly harvested for you: Sweet salad mix, spicy salad mix, cherry tomatoes, a few slicer tomatoes, a few early ears of sweet corn, cucumbers, radishes, escarole, spicy ginger root, purple yard long beans, lettuce heads, cilantro, recao, lemongrass, mint, garlic chives, dill, Italian basil, holy (Tulsi) basil, lemon basil, Thai basil, green chili peppers, and fresh-cut zinnia flowers. For your garden we have a few basil plants, tomato plants, and pineapple slips on offer.

From our partners we have avocados from a friend, local vegan fruit flavored ice cream from I-Sha, and local dark honey of complex notes from master beekeeper Errol Chichester.

Cooking greens such as collards, Chinese cabbage and kale, normally a big staple for us, have been struggling with pest problems this season. Check out the alternatives: the radish greens that come attached to our radish bunches are a delicious cooking green. Our escarole is doing well. It is a flat-growing lettuce-head-like crispy green that is commonly used in Italian wedding soup but makes a great addition to any cooking recipe involving vegetables. It can be sautéed or added to a pot. It has a strong and slightly bitter flavor when eaten raw. Bitter greens are a very healthy addition to the diet in moderate quantities.

The New Year is nearly upon us! We will be open regular hours on Monday: 3–6 p.m. On New Year’s Eve day, we will be open for our holiday (morning) hours: Wednesday from 10 AM – 12 noon.
