In this episode of Yard to Table Trevor and Ellen talk with the trail blazer Lori Cochran-Dougall, Executive Director of the Westport Farmers Market (WFM) in Westport CT. Lori is the current force behind WFM, first envisioned by actor Paul Newman and Chef Michel Nischan in 2006. The WFM is rated the best Farmers Market in Connecticut and plays a huge role in fostering community while supporting small businesses and local farmers. Listeners will hear how Lori makes all that come together with her expertise and passion while also learning how to shop at a market, the importance of shopping local and learning "who grows your food".
