Get to know the food grown by Kentucky farmers and celebrate the region’s diverse food traditions with a new season of The Farmer & The Foodie.

The locally-produced program is hosted by Maggie Keith, owner and operator of Foxhollow Farm and a passionate advocate for Kentucky farmland, and Lindsey McClave, a food and wine writer and self-taught home cook with a knack for creating original recipes with fresh, locally-sourced ingredients.

The two friends travel the far reaches of the Bluegrass, where they draw inspiration from the farms, ingredients and people they encounter. They then use what they’ve learned, bringing it into the kitchen to create delicious and approachable recipes — all of which may be found at KET.org/Farmer&Foodie.

Over the course of their most recent production shoot, Maggie and Lindsey visited more than 20 Kentucky farmers and crafted some 30 original recipes. In The Farmer & The Foodie’s all-new second season, Maggie and Lindsey explore natural ways of raising chickens, visit an urban farm in South Louisville, tour the Jeptha Creed and Maker’s Mark distilleries, and drop by Kentucky State University, where they learn about the pawpaw, Kentucky’s native tropical fruit.

Each episode wraps-up with Lindsey, Maggie, and the friends they’ve met sitting down and enjoying a meal together — underscoring The Farmer & The Foodie’s mantra that good food is meant to be shared.

The Farmer & The Foodie’s new season premieres Saturday, April 30. The program is produced by Kentucky Educational Television (KET) and distributed nationally by National Educational Telecommunications Association (NETA).

Ahead of the new season premiere, preview events will be held in Louisville, at Logan Street Market on April 26, and in Lexington at Greyline Station on April 28. Black Soil KY will provide snacks. Tickets are free and registration is required. Visit KET.org/Farmer&Foodie.
