Welcome to… Taste of the Week!
Halloween is just 2 days away and things are getting deliciously spooky!
This week at Heritage Radio Network, a new show is going against the grain. Meanwhile, one of our favorites, Knead to Know, reminds us that the best dishes come with a side of laughter.
Tune in and see what’s cooking at HRN—because the future of food always starts with a story.
New to HRN:
Against the Grain
Against the Grain is the Farm Aid podcast, designed to bring the magic of Farm Aid’s annual festival to listeners year-round!
Hosts Jessica Ilyse Kurn and Michael Stewart Foley will take you all over the country, from Farm Aid’s backstage and Homegrown Village to rural and urban farms and farmers’ markets.
Hear from artists and farmers, advocates and food experts, activists and policymakers – all of whom are working towards building a more just and equitable farm and food system.
Their upcoming third season brings us back to Minnesota, host of Farm Aid’s 40th anniversary festival, to spotlight the work of farmers and others in fighting corporate dominance of meat processing in rural Minnesota.
