ARTfarm Saturday AM: Toma-to-rnado… 2/22/2025, 11am – 12 noon

Sometimes an errant tomato grows right inside one of the clips that we use to keep the vines off the ground. Our creative ARTfarm kid turned this one into a garden fairy.

Tons of beautiful tomatoes and more, Saturday mid-morning farmstand 11am – 12 noon! It will be first come first served.

As we keep saying in these cooler months, it’s a great time to ask about volunteering on the farm, or tell a friend if you know someone who might be interested in learning more about sustainable, regenerative gardening practices — we would love some help in the gardens and with a few other tasks as well. Volunteers have always been crucial elements of our system.

If you have reached out to us about volunteering and we haven’t gotten back to you yet please be persistent. This is our busiest time of year. We could still use your help. Just reach out again!

No reservations; first come, first served. We really appreciate your support.

The Mongoose & Zinnia pastured chickens are thrilled with all the caterpillars and fresh grass in their moveable paddock.

ARTfarm Wednesday PM: SALAD options, heirloom TOMATOES, CAIMITO star apple fruits… 2/12/2025, 5 – 6 PM

The Caimito (star apple) fruit tastes like a sweet and juicy cross between a cantaloupe and lychee. They become slightly soft when ripe with a sweet smell. It can be eaten out of the skin, added to salad, made into ice cream or jam, or added to smoothies. Lurking in the background are two kaffir limes. These are delicious and they have plenty of rind if you need fragrant citrus peel.

Have you tried a star apple? Not a star fruit (carambola) or a malay apple (wax jambu) but a star apple (caimito)! It’s in the sapote family, and we have some sweet ones. The sweet juicy flavor has been described “…as if a cantalope and a lychee had a fruit baby!” They are often purple, but we have the green ones and they are ripe and ready!
