ARTfarm Wednesday PM: SALAD options, heirloom TOMATOES, cukes, peppers, herbs and more… 2/5/2025, 5 – 6 PM

Gorgeous, sweet cucumbers at the peak of season. Our heirloom varieties are sweet and crunchy with very thin skins.

Christmas/winter winds are toughening up the tomato vines and encouraging more sweetness in the fruits! Wednesday afternoons and Saturday mid-morning are starting to be more regular. Still holding off on the timeslot reservations at this point. It will be first come first served Wednesday.

As we keep saying in these cooler months, it’s a great time to ask about volunteering on the farm, or tell a friend if you know someone who might be interested in learning more about sustainable, regenerative gardening practices — we would love some help in the gardens and with a few other tasks as well. Profit margins for organic produce are surprisingly thin for a small mom and pop organic farm operation, and volunteers have always been crucial elements of our system.

If you have reached out to us about volunteering and we haven’t gotten back to you yet please be persistent. This is our busiest time of year. We could still use your help. Just reach out again!

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

ARTfarm Wednesday PM: SALAD options, a rainbow of WATERMELON, cukes and more… 1/29/25, 5 – 6 PM

There are 30 young adults training to become conservation planners in a group initiative with several natural resource and agriculture groups in St. Croix and Vermont. We were grateful to have them visit the farm in January and help us plant pineapples into paper mulch.

Hello sweet people! We are starting to roll out more food! Tomatoes dem comin’! Wednesday afternoons and Saturday mid-morning are starting to be more regular. Still holding off on the timeslot reservations at this point. It will be first come first served Wednesday.

As usual at this time of year, it’s a great time to ask about volunteering on the farm, or tell a friend if you know someone who might be interested in learning more about sustainable, regenerative gardening practices — we would love some help in the gardens and with a few other tasks as well.

Big thanks to the AmeriCorps group for their help prepping and planting pineapples! From their website: “The White River Natural Resources Conservation District in Vermont, the Virgin Islands Women in Agriculture Association (VIWIAA), and the Bennington County Natural Resources Conservation District have spent the past three years building “Farm Force,” a professional workforce development certification program that bridges Vermont and the US Virgin Islands. This year, we proudly partnered with the Working Lands Conservation Corps (WLCC), a new AmeriCorps initiative sponsored by the USDA-NRCS and the National Association of Conservation Districts (NACD), to train 30 young adults in Conservation Planning and Regenerative Agriculture over the course of one year.”

Scrumptiously sweet yellow watermelon at ARTfarm.

Hello good people! We are finally getting rolling this season with Saturdays. We are not going to do reservations at this point. It will be first come first served. We are a little understaffed as some of our regular helpers have not been available.

As usual at this time of year, it’s a great time to ask about volunteering on the farm, or tell a friend if you know someone who might be interested in learning more about sustainable, regenerative gardening practices — we would love some help in the gardens and with a few other tasks as well.

Teen spicy mix harvested fresh at dawn, in your fridge next day! Keep the air out of the bag and these will last a long time, to eat straight, mix with other salad greens, use as a garnish or bed for an entrée, wilt in a dish for a slight pepper flavor…

ARTfarm NYE Tuesday: sweet/spicy SALAD MIXes, fruit & herbs! 12/31/24, 4:30 – 5:30pm

Tomatoes are forming and ripening!

Happy holidays all, here comes 2025! Tuesday afternoon we’ll have sweet salad mix, baby arugula and spicy mix! Also a few fruits and herbs for the early birds. New Years Eve ARTfarm PopUp 4:30 – 5:30pm

We’ve been trialing black paper mulch this year with the watermelons and tomatoes, and both are growing nicely and forming fruits. Caterpillars are starting to lessen their impact on young plants. Papayas are recovering and very productive.

Ask about volunteering on the farm, or tell a friend if you know someone who might be interested in learning more about sustainable, regenerative gardening practices — we would love some help in the gardens and with a few other tasks as well.

No reservations; first come, first served.

Trialing black paper mulch on the ARTfarm in the 2024-2025 growing season. Seeing if it makes sense to phase out our reusable permeable woven plastic mulch we’ve used for years, for biodegradable material.
The Mongoose & Zinnia pastured chickens are thrilled with all the caterpillars and fresh grass in their moveable paddock.

See you Tuesday afternoon! 4:30 – 5:30pm.
