ARTfarm Summer Popup Saturday 8/26/2023, 11 am – 12 noon!

Pitaya fruit is said to be high in magnesium, iron, fiber, and vitamins B2 and C. That means it can help with anxiety and insomnia and keep you healthy!

It’s going to be short, but sweet. Will be open today, Saturday August 26, 2023, for a POP-UP (no reservations, first-come first-serve) farmstand 11 am – 12 noon. We’re still busy behind the scenes at this time of year with maintenance, season prep, family stuff, and working hard to wrap up our WCK project. It’s really coming along! Today at 11am we’ll have:

Plenty of: dragonfruit, ginger root, lemongrass (fever grass), and Haitian kidney and Nam doc mangoes from Alex

A few: dozen eggs, pomegranates, bunches of Italian basil.

Because it’s a quieter time of year, we are not expecting a big crowd. Looking forward to seeing you! Thank you so much.

Unpeeled ARTfarm pineapple slips are priced according to size. From four dollars for the very largest down to one dollar for the smallest slips. These slips, unpeeled, can be stored for several weeks before planting. They are quite tough and hardy. These shown are $3, $2 and $1 each.

See you later!

ARTfarm DragonFruitstand Popup Wednesday 8/16/2023, 5-6pm! Plus, Perfect Mangoes!

Hot days call for ripe, sweet, hydrating cactus treats. We’ve got a bumper crop of bright, sweet pithaya (dragonfruit) in red, pink and white varieties, ready for you to enjoy. We’ve also got some primo mango varieties from Dennis Nash, fresh harvested lemongrass (aka fevergrass – a cooling tea to keep in the fridge these days), ginger and turmeric, and some pineapple slips for planting, so we will be open for a POP-UP (no reservations, first-come first-serve) farmstand in the afternoon, Wednesday, August 16, 2023, 5 – 6pm.

See you Wednesday!

ARTfarm Fruity Summer Popup Saturday 8/5/2023, 11:30 am – 12 noon! Longans!

Once again it’ll be short, but sweet. Will be open Saturday August 5th, 2023, for a POP-UP (no reservations, first-come first-serve) farmstand 11:30-12 noon.

Plenty of: Dragonfruit (both pink and red), Haitian kidney mangoes, fresh ginger and turmeric root, and pineapple slips

A few: longan fruit bunches, bunched small sweet onions with green tops, lemongrass, Italian basil, a few dozen eggs

First come first serve. Talk to Farmer Luca about volunteering! We have tasks in both sun and shade available to those who want to learn a little about organic gardening and have some reflective time getting grounded.

Because it’s a quieter time of year, we are not expecting a big crowd. Looking forward to seeing you! Thank you so much.

Juicy “dragon eye” longan fruits, related to rambutan and lychee, have a leathery outer skin that pops off to reveal a juicy sweet pulp over a hard, non edible black glossy seed that will sprout a new tree! These are very sweet fruits high in Vitamin C!

ARTfarm Summer Popup Saturday 7/22/2023, 11:30 am – 12 noon! Salad Greens!

Haitian kidney mangoes are in Farmer Luca’s list of favorite top five mango varieties.

It’s going to be short, but sweet. Will be open today, Saturday July 22, 2023, for a POP-UP (no reservations, first-come first-serve) farmstand 11:30-12 noon.

Plenty of: extra sweet Haitian kidney mangoes (one of Luca’s top five favorite mangoes), soft seeded pomegranate, ginger root (bulk quantities available), turmeric, pineapple slips

A few: bags of sweet salad mix, bunched small sweet onions with green tops, lemongrass

Because it’s a quieter time of year, we are not expecting a big crowd. Looking forward to seeing you! Thank you so much.

Despite drought conditions, Farmer Luca is still managing to grow sweet salad greens with saved rainwater. C’mon rain!!

See you later!
