THE ENDLESS FEAST: EPISODE ABOUT BROOKLYN

The Endless Feast, a PBS show
which devotes each episode to a different sustainable food system, has produced a Brooklyn show, which features a chef buying pork from Flying
Pig’s Farm and greens from Added Value.

The
show is co-hosted by Anna Lappé, the author of Grub: Ideas for an Urban, Organic Kitchen. She agreed to do the show on the condition that one of the feasts featured took place in an urban center like Brooklyn.

THe show sounds great. It features a big feast at Added Value for the teenagers who
work on the farm. The kids brag about having grown the tomatoes and
talk about how you can’t go back to fast food when you’ve realized how
good the real thing is.

The episode will air again in New York on June 24 on channel 13.
