No reservations; first come, first served.

ARTfarm papayas are SO SWEET! Many folks shy away from papaya, but the fruit contains helpful enzymes to improve digestion. A papaya skin poultice was an old remedy for cuts and burns, and the leaves juiced are just about the bitterest thing you’ll ever consume but is taken to fight mosquito-borne rheumatic fever diseases like dengue and chikungunya. The unripe fruit makes a delicious slaw. If you haven’t been a fan, it is worth another try!

See you all soon!

ARTfarm TODAY Wednesday big baby arugula Tiny Popup 1/8/25, 5 – 5:30pm

Baby spicy salad mix at ARTfarm. These tender greens have less pepper flavor than mature mustards and arugulas. Mix this with sweet lettuce to add flavor and interest, use as a garnish or ‘bed’ for an entrée item for a fancy plating of a dish, stir it into a broth at the last minute or wilt it on top of a dish as a cooked green, or just enjoy it as a salad or snack right out of the bag! Our baby greens are the tenderest of treats.

ARTfarm NYE Tuesday: sweet/spicy SALAD MIXes, fruit & herbs! 12/31/24, 4:30 – 5:30pm

Tomatoes are forming and ripening!

Happy holidays all, here comes 2025! Tuesday afternoon we’ll have sweet salad mix, baby arugula and spicy mix! Also a few fruits and herbs for the early birds. New Years Eve ARTfarm PopUp 4:30 – 5:30pm

We’ve been trialing black paper mulch this year with the watermelons and tomatoes, and both are growing nicely and forming fruits. Caterpillars are starting to lessen their impact on young plants. Papayas are recovering and very productive.

Trialing black paper mulch on the ARTfarm in the 2024-2025 growing season. Seeing if it makes sense to phase out our reusable permeable woven plastic mulch we’ve used for years, for biodegradable material.
The Mongoose & Zinnia pastured chickens are thrilled with all the caterpillars and fresh grass in their moveable paddock.

See you Tuesday afternoon! 4:30 – 5:30pm.
