Farm Happenings at Mad Radish Farm
Turnip Time
Many of you know about Hakurei turnips, and some of you haven't yet experienced this crunchy and versatile vegetable. The Hakurei turnip is a "salad" turnip or fresh-eating turnip.

Chicken Take-Over!
It seems lately that the chickens are taking over the farm!! This is partially true. HA!
We spend a lot of time with the various flocks of chickens on the farm, particularly working on their coops, feeding, watering, moving, collecting and washing eggs... there's always a sizable list to be done.

The cold does have... read more »
WINTER POP UP BOX: Saturday, February 19th
We're excited to offer a bi-weekly POP UP CSA BOX on the off-weeks of our winter CSA!
A pop up box is a one-time box full of local produce and other items, fully customizable like our regular CSA shares. At first we'll be doing on-farm pick up only, but if the interest is there we may add various delivery... read more »
