"For me, breakfast is my dream, most incredible meal of the day. I love breakfast."

That’s raw food guru Andy Reed. He joins us in the kitchen to show us how he makes his raw vegetable smoothie. Here’s a hint: greens, lots of greens. For folks who like fruity smoothies instead, Chef Daniel Orr offers a recipe using strawberries and tofu.

After that, we speak with author and fermentation expert Sandor Katz about his new book that he hopes will empower more people to try preserving food.

Then, Martha Baskin of Green ACRE Radio has a story from Seattle. As the urban food movement expands nationwide, the idea of “food justice” is growing with it. In King County, Washington, the Just Garden Project is not only a celebration of growing food but a commitment to building gardens for those in need.

And finally, we visit Muddy Fork Farm & Bakery where a commitment to supporting local businesses and farmers pays off in amazing bread and baked goods.
