Phillies Bridge Farm Community

I didn't grow up eating turnips and radishes so I'm often stumped on how to prepare them. This week, I made this recipe (gift link) with a lot of substitutions and it was delicious!

If you're interested here are the substitutions I made. I tend never to buy anything for just one recipe, I like to use up whatever I already have.

• 1 bunch radishes replaced 1 of the 2 bunches of turnips

• equal parts tahini and soy sauce replaced miso paste

• skipped salad leaves, didn't have them

Watch to learn more about green garlic!

A bit belated, but happy May Day everyone! Something that makes me really proud to be part of the Phillies Bridge community is that we know that our vision for sustainability has to include sustainability for the staff and crew. Federally, agricultural workers don’t have the same protections as other workers, and even in New York farmworkers didn’t get the rights to overtime pay, collective bargaining, and disability/paid family leave until 2019. At Phillies Bridge, our farm crew not only gets free housing but they also get full pay plus overtime. Investing in our workers is just one of the ways that we invest in our land and our collective future. 

P.S. Does anyone have a May Day tradition they want to share? Mine is sobbing while singing along to the Billy Elliot soundtrack 😂
