ARTfarm Summer Fruity Fruitiness. 10 AM – 12 noon today!

Look at the sweet bounty! 20140628-080301-28981540.jpg
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.”

Never eaten a dragonfruit? Read a fun description on the blog of one of our favorite customers, the Crucian Contessa, describing her first encounter with a dragon fruit.

Cuke-ey Wednesdays at ARTfarm, 3–6 p.m. today!

We harvest early in the morning on farmstand days because it’s the coolest time to work, and captures the crisp and cool evening moisture before it travels back down into the roots. Sometimes, Farmer Luca does a little dawn meditation in the cucumber patch. Wouldn’t you? 20140625-132117-48077793.jpg
Sweet salad mix, baby spicy salad mix, microgreens, baby arugula, onions, sweet corn, cucumbers, Italian basil, beets, radishes, papaya, pineapple, passionfruit, and treats from our partner farms: honey from Errol, ice cream from Feel I, and mangoes from Tropical Exotics. Come out and enjoy the breeze on the farm!

ARTfarm Closed Til Early November

We’re still growing you a bit more food (and art) before starting back up with our farmstands again. We anticipate reopening in early November. Enjoy a safe and fun Halloween!
