The Local Food Report
As we re-imagine our relationships to what we eat, Local Food Report creator Elspeth Hay takes us to the heart of the local food movement to talk with growers, harvesters, processors, cooks, policy makers and visionaries

Local Feta Enjoying A Renaissance

Allen Healy

At least four dairies in our region are producing feta cheese, and one is on Martha's Vineyard.  On the Local Food Report, Elspeth Hay speaks with Bonnie Alexander of Mermaid Farm and Dairy in Chilmark about making feta. It's one way the dairy uses surplus winter milk to create a product they can sell in summer.

Find out more about local feta, and get Elspeth's recipe for Warm Spinach, Red Onion, and Feta Salad, at her blog Diary of a Locavore.

An avid locavore, Elspeth lives in Wellfleet and writes a blog about food. Elspeth is constantly exploring the Cape, Islands, and South Coast and all our farmer's markets to find out what's good, what's growing and what to do with it. Her Local Food Report airs Thursdays at 8:30 on Morning Edition and 5:45pm on All Things Considered, as well as Saturday mornings at 9:30.
