The local foods movement continues to grow throughout the country, and it is becoming particularly prevalent in Washtenaw County. This weekend, Ann Arbor's 6th annual Homegrown Festival will take place at the site of the Farmers market in Kerrytown.

Our guest this week is Jason Frenzel. Jason is Co-Chair of the Planning Committee of the Homegrown Festival, and also serves as stewardship coordinator at the Huron River Watershed Council.

This feature is a collaborative effort of the WEMU News Department and the Washtenaw County Environmental health Division. Hear it each week during Morning Edition, right here, on 89.1 WEMU.
