Discover Yolo County's Slow Food Movement through a New Local Podcast

A new podcast, 'Yolo County: Indulge in the Authentic', provides an in-depth exploration of the slow food movement in Yolo County. The second episode, 'Farm-to-Fork on the Slow Food Trail', is presented by travel writer Aaron Millar. The podcast guides listeners from West Sacramento to the Capay Valley, highlighting farm-to-table dining experiences.

In the first part, Millar talks to Chef Tyler Bond at Woodland’s edible learning garden. Bond discusses the significance of gardening for connecting with nature and each other through food. He urges listeners to take their time and appreciate each moment, reflecting the slow food movement's principles.

The podcast then shifts to the Capay Valley, where Millar tours Full Belly Farm with co-owners Jenna and Amon Muller. They discuss their goal to help people understand the food they eat by emphasizing the role of farming in healthy living.

Next, Millar visits the Davis Farmers’ Market and talks to Annie Main, one of the market's co-founders. Main explains that farmers’ markets are about more than just shopping - they're about community and locally grown food. She points out that unlike supermarkets, farmers’ markets only sell seasonal produce, ensuring freshness and nutrition.

The last stop is West Sacramento, where Millar and Heather Lyon from the Center for Land Based Learning visit Riverfront Farm at the Barn. This is one of five urban farms in West Sacramento that supply food for a mobile farmers’ market in affordable housing areas. Lyon stresses the need to bring healthy food to urban areas and connect all communities to quality food. The podcast can be found on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other podcast platforms.
