Come visit the Fondy Farm Project this Monday to talk radishes!
Do you grow Daikon? Beauty Heart? Nero Tondo?
Are you curious about growing a radish that can be picked in the fall and stored until early summer? Eaten raw or fermented to perfection? Join us for a hands-on afternoon in the field!
Monday, Aug 03, 2026, 12:00 PM – 2:00 PM
Fondy Farm at Mequon Nature Preserve, 9011 W Donges Bay Rd, Mequon, WI
Christine Johnson of Michael Fields Agricultural Institute and Stephen Petro of Fondy Farmers Market will facilitate a lively conversation about our beautifully round and oblong friends in the brassica family. We will cover everything from seeds and w**ds to harvesting, cleaning, storage, and sales.
Story-telling and personal experience will be encouraged! We will w**d radishes in the field with different tools, plant radishes (because we believe in the future), and celebrate attendees’ perspectives on how to talk the roots home. We will also be having some delicious TASTE TESTS with raw and fermented radishes.
