Fresh Radish Farm
Fresh Radish Farm is a small 9 acre family farm located in the Black Dirt region of Goshen, NY, a 1.5 hour drive from Manhattan. Felix Gonzalez, Fresh Radish’s Farmer, grew up farming on his family’s farm in Mexico . In 2006, he graduated from the New Farmer Development Projects training course and that same year he started his own farming business, Fresh Radish Farm, something that he never thought possible in the USA.
Seed saving is a vital part of Felix’s farming business, as it allows him to save money on seed costs and produce some of his own delicious “heirloom” varieties. His growing practices reflect a deep respect for the earth, as he doesn’t use pesticides and incorporates many sustainable practices into his business. Felix is excited for the opportunity to begin working with a CSA group, something he has been working towards for the past couple of years. The farm grows a large variety of produce, including some Mexican Specialty items.
