About this podcast
Freshly Picked is all about specialty crops: those highly cultivated fruits, nuts, trees, plants, and flowers we grow in Mississippi. We want to let folks know, through engaging interviews with growers, chefs, horticulturalists, and goods makers that specialty crops are worth seeking out. Each 30-minute Freshly Picked podcast episode will highlight a particular specialty crop and will
contain a fresh mix of interviews, recipes, innovations in agriculture, and more. Join us for Freshly Picked!
