Summertime is often a time of drought on St. Croix. We are in a level three drought in July-August 2026.
I hope everyone enjoyed that huge buck harvest moon this week. Despite the drought, select irrigation continues and we’ve got a few productive green patches on the farm.
We’ll be open SATURDAY 10:30am to 11:30am, and Farmer Luca will be there with summer salad sweet mix, fruits, flowers and more! Check the list below for all the details!
We’ll see you Saturday 8/1/26 from 10:30AM to 11:30AM! First come, first served.

Sweet salad mix

Pomegranate is a superfood. Ours are pink, sweet and juicy with soft seeds.
See you Saturday August 1st, 2026, starting at 10:30AM!
As always we appreciate your support of our small farm! xoxo, Farmer Christina
Honking juicy heirloom and slicer tomatoes! Get yer vitamins in the most appealing package possible!
Gosh, that was a lot of rain! This will improve many crops and green up our pastures. We would welcome even more of it, but just not during Wednesday afternoon’s farm stand!
Tomorrow afternoon’s Wednesday ARTfarm stand features plenty of slicer, heirloom and cherry tomatoes, watermelon for early bird customers, veggies and salad greens!
We could use some volunteers for general farm work and some carpentry.
We’ll see you Wednesday 2/4/26 from 4:30 to 5:30PM! First come, first served.

Teen spicy mix harvested fresh at dawn, in your fridge next day! Keep the air out of the bag and these will last a long time, to eat straight, mix with other salad greens, use as a garnish or bed for an entrée, wilt in a dish for a slight pepper flavor…
Things are drying up a little bit. But for this mid-week stand, we’ll once again have an abundance of salad greens and more tomatoes and watermelon. Come see us tomorrow afternoon, and enjoy all the peak season deliciousness.
It will be first come first served Wednesday. As usual, if the crowd looks thick, Farmer Luca may ration some items so no one goes home empty handed.
4pm Sundays is getting established as a meetup time slot for volunteers. If you’d like to join our little group, give us a call or send a text or reach out through social media or email. If you are 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 recommend coming about halfway or later through the hour if you would like a shorter line. We really appreciate your support.

Our teen spicy salad mix at ARTfarm is a combination of peppery greens. They’re bigger than baby greens but still tender and not totally mature.
Fresh heirloom tomatoes are at their sweetest at the peak of the season after the rains have mostly stopped!
