We have just about everything we grow (in winter) to offer at ARTfarm this morning. The only major items we are fresh out of are something witty to say…and cucumbers. We hope you can forgive us. 
Pick up on the South Shore this morning: sweet salad mix, spicy salad mix, microgreens, dill, cilantro, Thai basil, garlic chives, carrots, scallions, zinnia flowers, cherry tomatoes, slicer tomatoes, heirloom tomatoes, kale, dandelion greens, broccoli greens, a few passionfruit, kefir limes, and an assorted variety of incredibly beautiful chili peppers. Seriously. Even if you don’t like spicy hot food, you might want to buy these just to make your kitchen look amazing. 😉
Yes, it is Ag Fair weekend on St. Croix. Many of us will be headed over to the fairgrounds over the holiday for some fun and shopping.
In the interests of fuel (and human) efficiency, and as our staff has shrunk over the years, we have found that it is most manageable for us to stay open at our farm, instead of moving our operation to the Department of Agriculture for the weekend. So we will be open our usual time and place on South Shore Rd. from 10 AM to 12 noon tomorrow, Saturday.
You will see us later in the weekend, blending into the holiday crowds and enjoying all the sights and sounds and smells of our wonderful Agriculture and Food Fair! We particularly enjoy: sampling the callaloo soup, listening to some of our island’s musical groups, watching the quelbe dancers, getting a horseback ride, engaging with some of our agriculture researchers and educators in their various booths, taking note of interesting fashion choices that have clearly been custom-made for the weekend, exploring the 4H displays and petting zoo, seeing what the schools have been working on for the fair, catching up with our farming colleagues, and shopping for trinkets and handmade crafts and fruit trees!
Saturday’s farmstand: sweet salad mix, spicy salad mix, baby spicy salad mix, baby arugula, teen arugula, microgreens, cherry tomatoes, slicing tomatoes, heirloom tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots, onions, radishes, kale, broccoli, bodhi beans, eggplant, sweet bell peppers, ginger, hot chili peppers, cilantro, recao, thyme, flat leaf parsley, mint, dill, Italian basil (limited amounts), lemon basil, thai basil, holy basil, lemongrass, figs, black sapote and fresh-cut zinnia flowers. And from a friend’s orchard, we’ll have key limes, kefir limes and leaves, sour oranges and more white star apple! We will also have I-Sha’s vegan coconut-based ice cream and bread from Tess.
