ARTfarm miniFRUITY Saturday PopUp: 10/25/2025, 10:30-11:30am: Dragonfruit and Pomegranates!

After our usual hurricane season pause, a new round of dragonfruit is ready to enjoy, plus pomegranates and a few herbs! Come say hello to Farmer Luca and send your good vibes to this year’s tomato seedlings!

Interested in volunteering this season? Come talk with Luca about opportunities to learn and help out with things like garden preparation, raking, weeding and ongoing fence repairs from the fire. 

A new batch of dragonfruit is ripening on the ARTfarm vines. Our dragonfruit are sweet and juicy! Especially the ones with red and pink inner fruit!

In other farm news, in case you missed our September update: we are working on farm fire recovery, and a few lovely volunteers have continued to help us repair downed and destroyed fencing. We are purchasing new electric fencing, irrigation equipment and other replacement supplies with funds donated for fire disaster relief. We are deeply grateful to all of you who donated, and thanks to the VI Good Food Coalition for all their hard work organizing and fundraising.

Volunteers, now is the time! Swing by during the farmstand, or send us a message – we’re gearing up for season.

Plenty on Saturday Morning:

  • Dragonfruit (red and pink inside!)
  • Pomegranate
  • Thai basil
  • Lemongrass

First come first served!

Grateful for your support of our family farm! See you Saturday morning 10:30-11:30am!

Bright neon pink dragonfruits have soft spiky 'scales' that give them their name.
Beautiful late summer dragonfruits. These drought-tolerant pithayas are sweet and refreshing in the hot days of July, August and September! Sometimes all the way to Halloween!
