Peter goes urban farming, New Orleans style, with Kevin Morgan Rothschild, co-founder of VertiFarms, and Megan Nuismer, founder of The New Orleans Fruit Tree Project.

They're changing the way we grow vegetables in a swampy urban food desert and harvest fruit in an abundant garden of Eden.

With the cost of makin’ groceries steadily increasing every day, maybe it’s time for us to revisit buying in bulk.

I’m not suggesting that we all run out to the big box warehouse store for 20 dozen eggs and some snow tires, but rather hit up your local farmer’s markets, food co-ops and grocery stores for beans, rice, pastas, olive oil, maple syrup, honey, flours, soaps, nuts, granolas and even tofu. To find the best local selection, there’s a free app simply called Bulk.  

When it comes to finding a food truck in New Orleans, social media is usually the preferred method. But lately just checking local event listings has been a pretty reliable tool, too.
