Dear Heritage Foods USA Supporter,
Happy New Year!
To begin this new decade we are proud to announce another project to help spread the gospel about artisan products and foods. If our revolution is to succeed it must embrace not just foodies but also carpenters, truckers, metal workers, real estate agents, architects, distributors and a host of others who can accelerate change for independent non-commodity businesses. The Heritage Radio Network now boasts about 20 shows, each more fun to listen to than the next and each in its own way promoting a better, cleaner way of living! We hope you enjoy listening to these shows and that you will consider visiting the studio which are built out of two repurposed shipping containers in the garden of one of Brooklyn’s very best restaurant, Roberta’s, located at 261 Moore Street.
In the meantime, please consider visiting our site to purchase foods for January, which is traditionally the slowest month for small farms.
Thank you for your continued support. Here is to more Heritage in the second decade of the 2000s!
Sincerely,
CALENDAR

ARCHIVES
The programs listed below are archived for your listening pleasure.
Hosted by: Nelson Harvey and Annie Myers
Annie Myers and Nelson Harvey take listeners out of the dining room, through the kitchen, and out to the loading dock of New York's food system, the place where the real action is. Myers and Harvey endeavor to explain how the city's food system–the intricate and complex web that somehow manages to feed 8 million people every day–actually works. They focus on the untold stories of the people who make the system go: the truck drivers, distributors, farmers and fishermen who are working behind the scenes and around the clock.
Myers and Harvey have worn many hats in New York City's food world, working for restaurants, recycling shops, cheese dealers, public markets, university environmental committees, websites and blogs alike. Myers is currently a forager for The Spotted Pig restaurant, and Harvey is the self-titled 'VP of Mongering' for Eckerton Hill Farms in the Union Square Farmer's Market.
Hosted by: Patrick Martins & Katy Keiffer
The Main Course: Part 2, HRN’s unique answer to a morning show, finds Katy Keiffer and Heritage Foods USA's own Patrick Martins surveying quotidian (everyday) culture, covering everything from politics to pin up models. With witticism in no short supply, the hosts of “2” welcome guests from as far as Rwanda or as close as the engineer’s booth to discuss the topics at hand. Filmmakers, environmentalists, artists, musicians, chefs, writers, athletes, politicians, and the occasional canine have all been welcome guests on The Main Course: Part 2.
Hosted by: Nelson Harvey
Out To Pasture focuses on what we can learn about "re-localizing" meat production in New York State by re-examining the period, as late as 1880, when New York was actually a center of the country's meat production. There is a personal twist here: It was our host's great, great, great grandfather who played a large role in de-localizing New York's meat production, when he began shipping refrigerated beef by rail from Chicago.
Hosted by: Roberta's Staff & HRN
