Special treat! We just got word that we are getting cherry tomatoes from a farmer friend in St Croix tomorrow available to add to your order today! From Ras Sonrise Daughter Stand Farm.

PAYMENT ANNOUNCEMENT:
We now accept payment via VENMO. In a move to offer a more hands free option, you can now pay via VenMo to the account @queserafarms. Venmo charges 3% so you’ll have to manually enter in either the exact 3% calculation or add on $1 if your amount is less than $20 or $2 if up to $50.
