Your tomatoes, sweet potato greens, and your farmer were featured on WETA 90.9 this morning. WETA's new show, The Intersection, hosted by Rebecca Roberts, had very nice program about eating and growing local food.
I was hoping that by hearing Ms. Roberts ooh and ah over your sweet potato greens, you, my dear customers, might be more willing to try them. (Not many Tuesday shareholders seemed as thrilled as I am that they're in your share.) So if you haven't been inspired to eat the leaves of a sweet potato plant before now, then you should listen to the show! Click over to the The Intersection website, from which you can listen to any show from their archives (you want the one from July 28, 2006).
Before the show, it was fun to chat a bit with the Chef of Restaurant Eve, Cathal
Armstrong, who is a surprisingly passionate supporter of his farmers. Now I'm looking for an excuse to invite my husband to dinner there. Mid-summer celebration, perhaps? I also have to admit that it was just fun to sit around in an air-conditioned building for a while. When it's this hot out, I'm easy to please.
Wow, I never thought about eating Sweet Potato Greens, but now that you mention it, they do look delicious! I bet the purple ones are real tasty. They have the most interesting 3-pronged shape.
