Heat Up The Oven, Let's Do Some Roasting

I think if we turn a blind eye and say 'I don't want to see any of those things,' but then go pick up factory farmed meat, that's where the divide is.


That's manager of the Local Growers Guild Megan Hutchison. She comes into the Earth Eats studios to talk about the guild's new educational video series that illustrates, among other things, butchering a hog. We don't talk about that specifically but rather the LGG's goals of educating aspiring farmers.

Before that, when Congress enacted new farm bill legislation on January 1, it cut virtually all funding for organic agriculture programs. According to Harvest Public Media, that doesn't sit well with many organic farmers.

Then in the kitchen, Chef Daniel Orr fires up the oven to do some roasting on a chilly day. Bacon-wrapped garlic and Tuscan-flavored roasted tomatoes are on the menu.
