Eat Local is a micro-TV show dedicated to the mission of helping people bring locally grown food into their homes and onto their tables. We invite local chefs, farmers, and other food-savvy folks into the Esperance Community Teaching Kitchen (and sometimes elsewhere) to offer 5 minutes of insight, how-to, and easy recipes that will enrich your life with delicious food, while supporting local farmers!

Done in partnership with TV9&10, Traverse, Northern Michigan's Magazine, and MyNorth Media.
Special thanks to host Cara McDonald, Executive Editor, Traverse and MyNorth. Enjoy!
