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

Truro Farmer Raises Chickens for Childhood Elementary School

Elspeth Hay

Twenty years ago, Drew Locke was a student at Truro Central School. Now all grown up, he runs a poultry farm that feeds the current students a chicken lunch every Thursday. This week on the Local Food Report, Elspeth Hay talks with Truro Central cafeteria manager Warren Falkenburg about the school's new Farm to School initiative. He tells her about the challenges and rewards of getting local food on the table. You can read more on Elspeth's blog, Diary of a Locavore.

An avid locavore, Elspeth lives in Wellfleet and writes a blog about food. Elspeth is constantly exploring the Cape, Islands, and South Coast and all our farmer's markets to find out what's good, what's growing and what to do with it. Her Local Food Report airs Thursdays at 8:30 on Morning Edition and 5:45pm on All Things Considered, as well as Saturday mornings at 9:30.
