While Hurricane Irene may have hit this last August, its aftershocks are still being felt by farmers and growers in New York and around the Northeast. This week Let's Eat In welcomes Jean Hodesh and June Russell of Greenmarket NYC to discuss the hardships that their producers are facing and what they are doing to help farmers with their new debts, such as coming up with farm registries and fundraisers. Later on, tune in for some holiday recipes and tips from making pie crusts (butter or lard??), the best kind of flour for pastries, and even how to roll your own oats! This episode is sponsored by S. Wallace Edwards & Sons.

We spoke with June Russell, the Manager of Farm Inspections at Greenmarket/GrowNYC, about the impact on Greenmarkets after Hurricane Sandy. Market Managers are still in the process of assessing damage to their farmers but most have sustained some damage and lost multiple market day revenues. Greenmarkets are beginning to re-open across the city today so please come out to support these farmers.
"Most [farmers] sound like they have sustained some damage but not catastrophic... we want to get our markets back up and running and our farmers back in."
-- June Russell the Manager of Farm Inspections at Greenmarket/GrowNYC

We spoke with Federico Cotic of Francesca's Bakery about
baking without power after Hurricane Sandy. Federico was relieved to
return to the Greenmarket to sell product and see regular customers
who have expressed concern about his family and business.
"It is amazing everyone is concerned if anything happened with us personally or with the business." --Federico Cotic of Francesca's Bakery
