Start Strawberry Season at Greensgrow Farm
Greensgrow Farm in Fishtown is one of the most well-organized urban farms that we can think of and one of Fishtown and New Kensington's coolest resources. It's here that volunteers and local purveyors are the farm's own, and every Tuesday is Trades Day, when landscapers, contractors, and tradesman get 25% off of their purchases. Both the CSA and their farmer's market consistently sell out, as veggie-seekers hit the market first thing and many local restaurants order their produce direct from the Cumberland Street farm. Mary Seton Corboy's farm has flourished since 1998 and is a must-visit for anyone new to the neighborhood. It has fed thousands and spurred much excitement over produce, cooking, and community bonding here in a neighborhood that continues to grow every day.
What better reason to get over there than for the season's first strawberries? Pick some up this Saturday and then get busy in your kitchen with some Greensgrow recipes:
Strawberry Mint Salsa over Yogurt
Strawberry and Arugula Salad with Hazelnut Dressing
Strawberry Icebox Pie with Almond Crust

Friday Farmers Market at the Radian Plaza
We have some nutritious news for residents of University City. In June and July, there will be a weekly farmers market every Friday from 12-2 pm at The Radian Building at 3925 Walnut St. University City District has partnered with The Food Trust, The Rotunda and Inland American Retail Management LLC, to bring fresh produce and live music from the West Philadelphia Orchestra and Unidos da Filadelfia to the block. The Radian is the perfect social space to pull this off at, because it has such great foot traffic and a variety of retailers set there. We look forward to checking it out in June.

This video is just another reason to love Northern Liberties in Philadelphia. Today is a sunny Saturday afternoon in January and it looks like Spring Time in the Piazza in Northern Liberties! We are so lucky to have our office overlooking this grand extravaganza. You should see it in the spring, summer and fall when the weather is more conducive to outdoor fun. But, it is just another day in the Northern Liberties Neighborhood where people come from far and wide to get a taste, quite literally, of the fresh foods and local delights offered in Philadelphia. If you are from out of the Philadelphia area and you have never visited the Piazza in Northern Liberties or the wonderful hot spots around the entire neighborhood, Chris and I personally invite you. It is a destination indeed. There are restaurants and shops, family and pet friendly, and plenty of smiling happy people everywhere. Including us!
You may have noticed a large flat screen TV hanging above a stage on the video I posted above. If not take another peek and look closer. The enormous TV is the center of attention at the Piazza in Northern Liberties during many of the televised sports games year round. There is outdoor seating provided and many of the restaurants and shops have a front row seat. In fact Swift Half Restaurant has the best location at the foot of the huge TV at the Piazza.
If you want to become a happier person, smile a lot, laugh, run, and play then visit Northern Liberties. If you want to really enjoy the lifestyle in Philadelphia, we highly recommend checking out the Piazza in Northern Liberties. It is located at N 2nd Street and Germantown Avenue, Philadelphia, PA 19123.
