Did you buy any special foods with your stimulus check? Many things have changed with the COVID-19 crisis, but we still have to eat.
And so we'll continue to talk about eating and good food in our monthly food segment, Savor. Partner Will Smith, a food stylist returns, just as many of this year's farm products are beginning to sprout.
So we welcome Josh Cohen of Barking Moon Farm in the Applegate Valley for tales of farming in the pandemic. Hear about the choices made in a time of changed eating patterns.
And enjoy Will's recipe of the month...

In a 2 quart saucepan over medium heat, sweat the onion, carrot and celery with the oil or butter, add potatoes and simmer for 2 minutes, add rice, cream, and stock; simmer 20-30 minutes until rice is tender.
