📣 Food Hub Fresh : Chioggia Beets!
Also called bullseye or candycane beets, Chioggia beets are an excellent source of folate, manganese, potassium and copper. They are also a good source of dietary fiber, magnesium, phosphorus, vitamin C, iron and vitamin B6.
Similar in flavor to regular red beets, chioggia beets are a tad sweeter and milder. Another benefit, chioggia beets don’t stain and are easier to handle. Order chioggia beets today through the Firefly Food Hub and include roasted beets in your weekend dinner plans or make fresh beet juice for breakfast.

Ahhh, Arugula!
Arugula has many health benefits. It is full of antioxidants, which can help protect cells from damage. Arugula is rich in vitamins A, C, and K which support vision and immune function, protect against oxidative stress and are essential for blood clotting and bone health.
Arugula is a cruciferous vegetable, which means it has many plant compounds and antioxidants. It can be eaten raw or cooked, and added to salads, sauces, stews or soups. Grown on the rooftop at RISE Farms, these greens are local, free from chemicals and harvested by hand.

Like all turnips, the Hakurei turnip is a member of the Brassica family. This Japanese variety is sometimes referred to as a salad turnip, due to its crisp, delicious raw flavor.
Unlike other turnip varieties, hakurei do not need to be cooked. Turnips have a high water content, which helps keep the body hydrated and supports kidney function.
Grown organically at RISE Farms in downtown Wichita, local Hakurei turnips are so much better than what you get at the grocery store.
Order now and eat well this weekend with sun-grown, chemical free food from local farmers.

Firefly PBS Sponsor Spot
We are so excited to be underwriting some of the wonderful Earth Day programming on PBS Kansas this year. The climate crisis is the defining challenge of our era and we're proud to be part of the agricultural community working to localize and decarbonize our food system. Tune in to Channel 8.2 this Thursday (4/22) at 6pm to hear more and let us know if you hear our message!
Firefly Farm is a small, organic, sustainable, specialty-crop farm nestled on the NE corner of Wichita, Kansas. We have been chasing flavor since 2015!
We care a lot about how food tastes, so we scour the market to find the most delicious fruit and vegetable varieties to grow. Whenever we can, we grow from organic, heirloom seeds and root stock. We never use genetically modified organisms.
We are dedicated to growing fruits and vegetables in ways that don't damage the environment in which they are grown or the people who consume them. Our fertilizers are always organic. We avoid using poisons or toxins to control insects, weeds, and disease; when absolutely necessary, we only use OMRI-approved products.
We believe that food grown locally, seasonally, and sustainably doesn't just taste better and isn't just more health inducing but is more humane and socially just, too. We hope you will appreciate the vision we have for our farm and that you will join us in making it a reality by purchasing your produce here.
We sell the majority of our fruit and vegetables wholesale to the local restaurant trade. In addition to our produce business, we hold seasonal farmers’ markets and farm-to-table dinners in our farmyard, and rent our barn venue for private parties. We would love to meet you and show you where your food comes from.
