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 Organizations Get Seafood to Families in Need

CAPE COD COMMERCIAL FISHERMEN'S ALLIANCE

Fish is important for good health, but it can be expensive. This week on the Local Food Report, Elspeth Hay talks with the fishermen and organizers behind a program called Fish for Families that's working to get high quality local seafood to Cape Cod families in need. 

You can read more about Fish for Families and find out about the groups behind it on their websites:

Cape Cod Commercial Fishermen's Alliance

The Family Pantry of Cape Cod

And you can see pictures of a dogfish distribution at the Family Pantry on Elspeth's blog, Diary of a Locavore.

This episode originally aired in February 2015.

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.
