CLE Foodcast

Conversation for food and drink enthusiasts that starts where the pretty Instagram picture ends. Hosted by Lisa Sands, a Cleveland-based local food advocate and food and travel writer. CLE Foodcast serves up a deep dive into the local food ecosystem with developing food biz news, interesting interviews, and plenty of recommendations for must-try food experiences.
It's about the time of year I am ready to go all crazy on spring vegetables (a ”rumspringa” of sorts) so I grabbed my friend Farmer Lee Jones from The Chef's Garden and Farmer Jones Farm to learn more about some of the lesser-known springtime veggies and to catch up on what's new at the Erie County regenerative farm he runs with his brother Bob.
In the episode we talk about vegetables, soil health, food as preventative medicine, and hear about some upcoming public events and activities at the market and farm.
The CLE Foodcast is supported Edgewater Hospitality and Kate's Fish.
