Have you ever wanted to grow your own radicchio, frisee, escarole, or endive? This week on the Local Food Report, Elspeth Hay talks with Steve Coleman of Eldredge Farm in Brewster about how to grow these delicious greens from the chicory family.

You can read more about chicory on Elspeth's blog, Diary of a Locavore, where you can also find her recipe for frisee salad with bacon and eggs. 

This piece is a rebroadcast. It aired originally on March 29, 2012.
