Back in April, we met a couple responsible for spreading hope around Milton. Sometimes, that’s all it takes. One or two words on a sign and our spirits are automatically lifted. Just like those signs in Milton, Delmarva residents can look forward to seeing signs all over the peninsula with the hashtag #STILLFARMING. It’s a way to celebrate farmers and their unstoppable efforts to keep the agricultural industry going even in the midst of a pandemic. We talk with Board President of the Delaware Farm Bureau, Richard Wilkins, about the #STILLFARMING movement and what the bureau is hoping consumers will learn from this.

Mr. Food Test Kitchen Tip!
- This is a great dish to make when you have leftover rice, or the next time you make rice, just make extra so you’ll have some ready to go for this dish.
- If you would like a healthier version of this recipe, try using brown rice instead of white rice.
