The Real Dirt: A Podcast

That’s right folks, we’re recording audio as we cook in the kitchens of local food mavens. . . smacking our lips and chewing with our mouths open!

We want to explore the passion, practicality, and personality behind local food. Join us!

Episode 1: Greens Season

Check out our first episode, recorded in Alex Brown’s kitchen, all about June greens. The adult ones, that grow in abundance in Montana. Learn great tips and tricks for making use of one of Montana’s super foods — and a food that so many fear, loathe, and generally avoid. After this episode, they might just become your BFK — your best friend in the kitchen!

Why?

To learn what makes local food mavens tick. What got them passionate? What keeps them coming back to the stove? What keeps it fresh?

To further spread what can be life-changing (at least, life in the kitchen) tricks that make seasonal eating accessible. It can be the smallest of routines that make the greatest difference in whether you eat that bunch of mustards or let it wilt.

To connect with each other over food! Always and forever.

To keep it simple, to explore kitchens that are not white marble halls, but practical functional spaces where local food is made, put up, and loved hard.
