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

Planning a Slaughterhouse for Martha's Vineyard

Elspeth Hay

Massachusetts has just two USDA-certified slaughterhouses for livestock. On the Local Food Report, an intiative is afoot to create a livestock processing facility on Martha's Vineyard. Plans are already drawn up.

Find out more about the proposal for a slaughterhouse for Martha's Vineyard, and get more information about slaughterhouses in New England, on Elspeth's 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.
