About Us

radishes.pro was founded in 2021 by a team of farm simulation enthusiasts, gardening lovers, and wholesome gaming advocates who wanted to create a charming, low-stakes game centered around the humble radish. Based in Lancaster, Pennsylvania—a region famous for its Amish farms and fresh produce—our small team of 7 is passionate about crafting games that celebrate the joy of growing food, the satisfaction of hard work, and the warmth of community. Our story began when our co-founders, Emma Green and Oliver Taylor, met while working on a general farm simulation game. They dreamed of a game that focused on a single, underappreciated vegetable—the radish—allowing for deep, authentic gameplay centered around planting, tending, and harvesting this crisp, versatile crop. They left their jobs, recruited a team of like-minded creators (including a former market gardener), and set out to build radishes.pro as a platform for their vision of wholesome, educational farming fun. At radishes.pro, our flagship game, Crisp Grove: Radish Farm, lets players start with a tiny plot of land and a handful of radish seeds, and grow their operation into a thriving garden and market stall. What sets us apart is our focus on radish-specific details: players learn about real radish varieties (e.g., Cherry Belle, French Breakfast, Daikon), master gardening techniques like thinning seedlings and adjusting soil pH, and deal with realistic challenges (e.g., pests, droughts, frost) that affect radish growth. We also integrate community elements: players can join "Garden Co-ops" with friends to share seeds and tools, sell their radishes at a virtual farmers’ market, and participate in seasonal radish contests (e.g., largest radish, most colorful bunch). Our team brings diverse expertise to the table. Our lead game designer, Maya Chen, worked on a family vegetable farm for years, ensuring that the growing mechanics are realistic yet accessible. Our art director, Sofia Garcia, crafts bright, inviting visuals with lush green leaves, vibrant radish roots, and cozy garden details that make the game feel like a sunny day on the farm. Our sound designer, Jake Wilson, composes calming soundtracks featuring birdsong, rustling leaves, and the gentle hum of garden tools that enhance the wholesome atmosphere. Our community manager, Zoe Patel, fosters a welcoming space by hosting monthly "Radish Harvest Challenges" and sharing player-created gardens on our social media. Since launching Crisp Grove in 2022, we’ve grown to over 200,000 users worldwide, with fans of all ages finding joy in tending their virtual radish patches. We’ve released seasonal updates (e.g., spring planting events, fall harvest festivals) and expanded the game with new radish varieties and garden features (e.g., greenhouses, compost bins) based on player requests. We’re proud that our game has become educational as well as entertaining—many parents and teachers use it to teach kids about where food comes from, plant biology, and the value of patience and hard work. We value our community deeply. Every update is shaped by player input: for example, we added a "radish recipe" feature after users requested to cook with their harvests (e.g., radish salad, pickled radishes), and we expanded the farmers’ market to include online trading based on demand for more social interaction. Our forums and Discord server are spaces for players to share garden photos, trade growing tips, and suggest new features. We also partner with local farms to share educational content about radish growing, and a portion of our proceeds supports school garden programs. Looking to the future, we plan to expand Crisp Grove with a mobile app optimized for on-the-go play, a "Garden Designer" tool that lets players create custom radish patch layouts, and a story-driven expansion that follows the journey of a young gardener building a community-supported agriculture (CSA) program. We also aim to launch a user-generated content marketplace where players can share custom radish varieties and garden decorations with the community. Our goal is to become the leading name in wholesome vegetable farming simulations, known for our authenticity, educational value, and commitment to joy and community. Whether you’re a farm simulation fan, a gardening enthusiast, or just someone looking for a calm, wholesome gaming experience, radishes.pro invites you to join Crisp Grove. Plant your first seed, tend your radishes, and harvest the fruits (or roots!) of your labor—every crisp radish is a celebration of nature and hard work.
