Market Report with Laura Avery
David Karp has been writing about farmers markets and produce for 25 years, and now he’s putting his journalism career on hold to grow stone fruit with Andy Mariani, whom David calls the “patron saint of apricots.”
Laura Avery interviews Amelia Saltsman, author of The Santa Monica Farmers’ Market Cookbook about what she’s making with apricots.
