Okay people. Nam doc Mai mangoes in the house. Creamy, yellow flesh and an unmistakable profile. Those in the know will be revving their engines and hitting the South Shore Rd. as soon as they read half of this email. 
If you did not see the dragonfruit video in our last email this morning, here is the link: I LOOOOOOVE dragonfruit
Love is in the Air… Dragonfruit in Love
Here is your Dragonfruit horoscope for today: Sometimes a juicy dragonfruit will split open right on the vine, giving the appearance of a smiling dragon head. This delicious, juicy wonderment elicits a deep passion within many people. If you happen to be a dragonfruit, look out for the affection of others… It can be all-consuming.
We have a huge box of locally grown dragonfruit (pitaya) for your holiday weekend today! Like revenge, they are a dish best served cold, so grab some and put them in the fridge to chill! (Yes, that is Farmer Luca singing in the video, and Christina on human beat box. Sweet!)

ARTfarm Summer Fruity Fruitiness. 10 AM – 12 noon today!
Look at the sweet bounty! 
Sweet salad mix, microgreens, cucumbers, onions, beets, radishes, Italian basil, garlic chives, recao, dill, lemongrass, passionfruit, papayas, bananas and pineapples. From our partners: Julie & Malika mangoes from Alex, dragonfruit from Solitude Farm, ice cream from I-Sha (Feel-I), beautiful fresh bread loaves from Tess, and raw local honey from Errol!
Malika mangoes have a citrusy flavor mixed with sweet. The flavor almost reminds us of that 1960s space age powdered orange juice called “Tang.”
