From Psychedelic Radicchio to Trendy Squash, Local Vegetables for Your Holiday Feast
Holiday cooking is right around the corner, so today we’re talking with farm-to-market expert (and sibling to our executive producer) Molly Notarianni about what’s new in fruits and veggies this season. As the former executive director of Oregon's Farmers Market Fund, she’s tapped into all the new hybrids Oregon State University has been working on. She’ll introduce us to new offerings that you might have overlooked in the produce section — everything from psychedelic radicchio to the hippest, trendiest squash.
