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, July 23, WPR’s “Route 51” presents an encore broadcast of Shereen Siewert’s conversation with 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. Tune in to enjoy a lively conversation about making the most of summer’s bountiful crops.
