ARTfarm October Saturday AM: SWEET MIX, plums & MORE… 10/5/24, 11:30am – 12 noon

Salaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad. Throwback photo with Farmer Bob.

It’s been rainy-ish, a perfect time for planting. We’ve got pineapple slips!

For those who just like to eat, we have fruit and herbs and a few veggies, too!

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

ARTfarm Wednesday PM SWEEEET SALAD MIX! & Dragonfruit Popup 10/2/24, 5 – 6pm

ARTfarm sweet mix comes from many different varieties of lettuces, grown organically and sustainably with stored rainwater irrigation! We interplant to naturally deter pests. And because it’s pretty. We can use volunteers right now, if you’re a non-tobacco user please get in touch! Come play in the gardens!

Wednesday’s October ARTfarm PopUp features sweet salad mix that’s extra tender from the rain. Also a few herbs and baby pineapple plants, and a few dragonfruit and sweet potatoes for the early birds.

As usual at this time of year, it’s been just a handful of people so it’s usually a good time to bring your gardening questions and chat with Farmer Luca. It’s also 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 are short a couple of people right now and would love some help in the gardens and with a few other tasks as well.

Our thoughts, prayers and energy toward the people of Asheville NC and others in areas affected by the devastation of Hurricane Helene.
