Farm Happenings at Mad Radish Farm
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 d1 read more »
Lettuce Is Back!
One of the things that we've struggled with, since moving to the farm but especially in recent months, is internet service. We have tried several different options and companies, and none of them have offered a reliable service. Getting internet service to our business and home in (somewhat?) rural1 read more »
Hibernation
The cold, icy weather has pushed us into full-blown January hibernation mode. As we focus on planning for the season, we're spending most of our hours inside, keeping warm by the wood stove. It's difficult to have much motivation to work outside when it is as cold as it has been, and everything is1 read more »
Happy 2022!
Happy New Year from all of us at Mad Radish! We're really excited about the fresh, new season of growing ahead of us.

You'll see lots of different things that will be a1 read more »
Final Week of Fall 2021
We've reached the final share of the CSA for 2021! A huge thank you to all of you, our CSA members, for sticking with us and supporting our farm through our first growing season in Dover. It wasn't without its (many) challenges, and we are looking forward to improving our land and offerings each CS1 read more »
Brussels! & Eating Local All Year Round
Brussels are in this week! We always wait until after the first frost to harvest the brussels sprouts. After this week, they've been through not only frost, but a few hard freezes to boot. They're hardy down to about 15 degrees, so they did fine with the 23 degree lows that we had this week. It got1 read more »
Field Updates
Some folks have asked about how happy we are with the offerings of the CSA, and how things did this year on the whole. The short answer is, for our first year, we think things went pretty well overall. But the true, long answer is much more complicated. The final outcomes of many crops were frustra1 read more »
About the farm
Mad Radish is a small diversified farm in Dover PA. We raise organically-grown produce for our CSA, markets and farm store. Our mission is to grow nutritious food for our community while managing the land for soil health, plant vitality, and species diversity. To support this mission, we also raise pastured eggs and chicken. We plan to expand to lamb and beef in coming years.
