It's a new season and with a new season comes growth and as you know farmers make things grow. Growing is what Tim Fonfara of Omaha Urban Farmer does be that in the outdoors in his city surrounded ¾ acres or inside where microgreens pop up all year.
We're checking in on how the farm weathered the …um...weather. We talk a bit about how a person would get going on growing these greens and I learn about the difference between microgreens and sprouts and taste some carrot and cilantro micros on the mic.

Ok, ok, I may have been a bit greedy when seeking our guests on the show today. I’ve become quite curious on how cottage food production and pop-ups differ with rules and certifications etc. Additionally, our local food trucks and industry folks brought No More Empty Pots to my attention. We’ve had CEO Talia McGill on the show before to give us an overview of No More Empty pots. This episode also features Alisha Waugh who is the Kitchen Coordinator of No More Empty Pots’ commissary kitchen. She so kindly addressed all of my questions and I look forward to you listening to our conversation and adding new knowledge to your repertoire.

Sarah Baker Hansen recently wrote an article for the Flat Water Free Press titled “As food costs rise, local restaurants — and diners who support them — adjust to paying more” At a time when we’ve seen a lot of restaurant closures, this article might just ring true with a lot of owners and diners. Coincidentally, just hours before we went in studio a noted local restaurant that was even featured on Food Network announced it was closing. We talked about the article, the varied factors affecting restaurants, and more including a local spot serving soup dumplings.

Jordan joined us in studio to talk about pizza of course, but also challenges, and some of his influences. I like that you can try out the pizza a slice at a time to experience all of the toppings and I hope that you…
