An Inside View of Sang Lee Farms

Just Food VISTAs Wen Jay Ying and Matt Chan have launched a series of podcasts that will focus on the stories of the people in the local food movement, such as farmers, community garden members, and activists, and will feature policy updates and relevant news.

Their first episode, which can be heard here, features an interview with Farmer Fred Lee of Sang Lee Farms.

Sang Lee Farms is a second generation family farm that originally grew produce for the Asian markets in New York and along the east coast.  Over the last fifteen years, the farm has shifted its focus to retail, farmers' markets and CSA. In doing so it has added many new specialty vegetable and herb products, including heirloom tomatoes, multicolored carrots, asparagus, potatoes and garlic.

Listen to the story of Sang Lee Farms and hear about Fred Lee's journey from farming predominately to the wholesale market to eventually delivering fresh produce to CSAs in New York City.
