Eating Locally
christina cooks: back to the cutting board

Has eating locally become the province of the elite and affluent? Or is that just nonsense? Sure, we struggle with food deserts in big cities but many of us have access to fresh, locally produced foods that are often less expensive than the processed stuff we are told is food. All over America, farm markets are becoming the norm, along with community gardens and produce trucks in neighborhoods. In this episode, we'll discover the joy of eating as locally as we can. We'll also meet Philadelphia's own "Farmer Jawn" Christa Barfield, whose Elkins Park farm is helping to improve accessibility to fresh, local produce. Recipes: Fregola with Vegetables and Beans; Beans and Greens

Episode Duration: 26 minutes and 46 seconds

Episode Number: 504
