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

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…

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
