ARTfarm Saturday Soak, 10 AM – 12 noon!

It seems that the April showers (which bring May flowers) are right on schedule this year. The young pineapples are growing, the mango trees are abloom, and the bees are really really busy. The cool nighttime weather has given the lettuces a real boost!

Rain or shine, we are open 10 AM – 12 noon on Saturdays. On this particular soaking wet Saturday morning: Sweet salad mix, spicy salad mix, baby spicy salad mix, teen arugula, microgreens, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, slicer tomatoes, heirloom tomatoes, Bodhi beans, carrots, onions, kale, collard greens, broccoli dreams, radicchio (tastes more like an escarole because of the tropical climate), cilantro, Italian basil, Thai basil, holy basil, lemon basil, thyme, mint, parsley, garlic chives, lemongrass, various chili peppers, passionfruit, fresh Mediterranean figs, and fresh ginger root! Cook up something healthy and delicious to support your vitality this weekend with local organically grown veggies!
