Building a food business, running a farm and marketing a new product all take skill and know-how; and of course money. Coming up on this week’s show, The Good Food Expo comes to Chicago. We’ll talk to some of the key players and discover why it’s become one of the leading events of its kind in the Midwest, if not the entire country. Jim Slama, the C-E-O of Family Farmed and Producer of the Annual EXPO, the Executive Chef of Fat Rice in Chicago, Abe Conlon, and one of the nation’s leading experts, Michael Harlan Turkell, author of “Acid Trip: Travels in the World of Vinegar” tell us why we should care about these potent potables. Garden Educator, Corenna Roozeboom from Big Green schools us on gardening programs for students. And Kara Babinec is the Director of Sales and Marketing at Gunthorp Farms in LaGrange, Indiana on Meat Labeling: What’s the Meaning Behind the Label?”.
