Food From Here
Food From Here invites growers, producers & purveyors of the food we eat in our region of the Midwest to share their stories and their recipes as we discuss what makes food from here distinctly ours. Host Peggy Pirro talks with chefs, farmers, brewers, food truck owners, and home gardeners about our surprisingly vibrant local food community.
Support for Food From Here comes from SWIRCA & More and their Intergenerational Gardens, providing healthy, organically-grown food for our community.
