Know Your Coffee, Frog Legs, Price Of Tomatoes, Jeff Mease

Sun-grown coffee requires chemical inputs. So, you have chemical fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, nematicides, fungicides that all need to be administered.

And that causes problem not only for the workers, but also the environment. Catherine Tucker will tell us more about her research with coffee growers in Central America this today's show.

Why do the prices of tomatoes vary so greatly? Harvest Public Media digs into the hidden costs of tomatoes.

Frog legs are on the menu with Chef Daniel Orr -- and they're really delicious!

We meet farmer Riley Lewis who tells us about his farm roots.

And, foodie businessman Jeff Mease introduces us to his baby water buffalo Shadow. If he has his way, his water buffalo will be incorporated into farms all over the Midwest.
