WAUSAU – Nothing says summer quite like fresh produce from the local farmers market. The local food movement has only grown during the COVID-19 pandemic, as people traded grocery stores for open-air stalls and personal connections with the people who grow their food. But what can you make with all of those exciting new foods?
At 10 a.m. today, June 11, host Shereen Siewert welcomes Farmers Market of Wausau Vice President JoJo Vang and Chef Christian Czerwonka, whose restaurants in the Stevens Point area are known for spotlighting fresh, seasonal food, for a lively conversation about making the most of summer’s bountiful crops.
Listeners are encouraged to call 800-780-9742 with their questions during the program or email questions to [email protected].
