Fighting For Food with Wen-Jay Ying

Eating local and seasonally is THE BEST way to UP your nutrition and health. But, we all know acess to that isn’t always easy- especially if you live in big cities. That’s why Wen-Jay started Local Roots, a subscription based farmers market that brings quality produce to those in the NYC area. But, when COVID hit, Wen-Jay shifted her entire business in just 2 days. Becoming an essential worker, she shares why she kept going, the mission that fuels her, and what it’s been like as an Asian American these last few months.Follow WenJay on Instagram: @wenjayyingLearn more about Local Roots: https://localrootsnyc.com/collections/weekly-subscriptionsThe Truthiest Life on instagram @thetruthiestlifeHost @LisahayimTo support TTL, subscribe, follow, or share episodes with family and friends who could benefitIf you’re loving TTL, Please leave a review on Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-truthiest-life/id1535516122?uo=2Guest submissions, please fill out this form: https://thewellnecessities.typeform.com/to/pODTLasNEdited by Houston TilleyIntro Jingle by Alyssa Chase aka @findyoursails  Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
