For Release: 12/19/23 10:13 AM
The Farmer & The Foodie, the KET series that explores Kentucky farms to discover local ingredients for scrumptious dishes and desserts, returns in January with all new episodes. And just in time for the holidays, preview an assortment of new seasonal recipes from The Farmer & The Foodie at KET.org/SavorTheSeason.
Premiering Saturday, Jan. 6, the new season follows hosts Maggie Keith (the farmer) and Lindsey McClave (the foodie) as they harvest maple syrup in Scottsville, forage for wild mushrooms in Eastern Kentucky, sample a variety of homegrown strawberries in Whitesburg, make artisanal cheese in East Bernstadt, and spend a day with a community gardening and composting group in Lexington.
Each episode takes viewers behind-the-scenes with local farmers and makers to see first-hand how the food is made, and then Maggie and Lindsey take what they’ve learned into the kitchen to create a delicious dish.
