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.

Companion planting is a key technique in permaculture and chemical-free farming.

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 build platelets, 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!
