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

You Say Potato, She Says Magic Molly

Elspeth Hay

Potatoes come in many shapes, colors and sizes. This week on the Local Food Report, Elspeth Hay talks with Truro farmer Stephanie Rein who's growing two unusual varieties. She also gets an update on the growing conditions and this season's harvest, and learns about potato pests.

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.
