COVID hit deep. Their roots run deeper.

from Abby Eats St. Louis Hosted by Abby Llorico/5 On Your Side

You probably aren't used to having to think this hard about where your food comes from — but when even a trip to the grocery store is an ordeal, local farmers and growers are working to feed the demand. How shortages and supply-chain issues are impacting them, the unexpected items they've begun stocking next to their regular produce and why farmers might be the best equipped of all of us to get through this pandemic (even the ones who studied theater and welding). GIVE US A SHOUT: We’re working on an upcoming episode about people who work in the food industry: what’s life been like for you? What do you wish customers — or your employers — knew? You can remain anonymous if you’d like, we just want to hear from you. Send a typed message or a voice memo recording to [email protected] or call and leave a message at click here.
