This relatively new breed of turnip was created out of need in Japan in the 1950s during food shortages after WWII. Hakurei turnips are unique because they can be eaten raw and don’t need to be peeled. Sometimes referred to as a salad turnip, their delicate, crisp, slightly sweet and peppery flavor makes them a great substitute for radishes in salads. Roast in the oven; coat in sriracha; slice thinly and eat raw; steam. Local

Based out of Ithaca, NY, Finger Lakes Farms is a young company who is working very hard to establish themselves in the sustainable farming world. As such, they hold themselves to the highest standards, not only pasture raising their animals and avoiding hormones and GMO additives, but also spending a lot of time and energy providing the highest standard of living for their chickens. They routinely have independent animal welfare specialists come in and inspect their farms to ensure the chickens are well, happy, and treated with respect. This means the chickens are performing at their peak and therefore providing the best eggs imaginable. With their deep golden yolks, you'll see and taste the difference.
