ARTfarm Saturday AM: Happy RED TOMATO day… 2/15/2025, 11am – 12 noon

Red juicy heirloom tomatoes in a pile, with one on top with a heart-shape. Text reads "Happy Valentine's Day from ARTfarm, St. Croix"
Don’t forget your sweetie with a romantic pile of red juicy tomatoes and some of our farm-fresh herbs!

Lovely tomatoes and more, Saturday mid-morning farmstand 11am – 12 noon! It will be first come first served.

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. 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, heirloom TOMATOES, CAIMITO star apple fruits… 2/12/2025, 5 – 6 PM

The Caimito (star apple) fruit tastes like a sweet and juicy cross between a cantaloupe and lychee. They become slightly soft when ripe with a sweet smell. It can be eaten out of the skin, added to salad, made into ice cream or jam, or added to smoothies. Lurking in the background are two kaffir limes. These are delicious and they have plenty of rind if you need fragrant citrus peel.

Have you tried a star apple? Not a star fruit (carambola) or a malay apple (wax jambu) but a star apple (caimito)! It’s in the sapote family, and we have some sweet ones. The sweet juicy flavor has been described “…as if a cantalope and a lychee had a fruit baby!” They are often purple, but we have the green ones and they are ripe and ready!

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. If the crowd looks thick, Farmer Luca may ration some items so no one goes home empty handed.

More gorgeous heirlooms coming in from the field at ARTfarm!

Sorry for the late notice! Set your alarms for tomatomorrow, Saturday mid-morning farmstand! It will be first come first served.

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.

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.
