This special Thanksgiving podcast dives into the wonderful world of local food in Wyoming’s Wind River Country. Charene Herrera visits Lander to chat food with the Meadowlark Market & Kitchen team, Annelise Wright (Market Manager), Joanne Slingerland (Member Education and Outreach Coordinator) and Bridget Pokorny (Meadowlark Kitchen Intern).

In Riverton, Charene visits Fremont Local Market to catch up with Jack Schmidt, who shares his knowledge about the Wyoming Food Freedom Act. He discusses how this legislation enables markets like Fremont Local Market and Meadowlark Market & Kitchen to thrive.

Of course, a podcast on local food wouldn’t be complete without some tasty sourdough bread, and local breadmaker, Alma Law, talks about ancient sourdough-making techniques while sharing insights on the art of traditional sourdough.

The Wind River Visitors Council wishes you and yours a happy Thanksgiving and a wonderful holiday season.
