The Local Food Report
As we re-imagine our relationships to what we eat, Local Food Report creator Elspeth Hay takes us to the heart of the local food movement to talk with growers, harvesters, processors, cooks, policy makers and visionaries

All in the (Turnip) Family

Elspeth Hay

Particularly in the winter, we need all the choices we can get when it comes to vegetables.  On this week's Local Food Report, Elspeth explores locally grown turnip family varieties.  She says it's nice to see local farmers reviving old root vegetables to keep us fed.
