    The Market Report

    Laura Avery meets with long-time farmer Elmer Leaman, who talks about his peaches. They are a special variety that he only brings to the farmers' market.  Because pointed ends would break in shipping, they’re not a practical variety for commercial use.

    Laura Avery meets with long-time farmer Elmer Leaman, who talks about his peaches. They are a special variety that he only brings to the farmers' market. Because pointed ends would break in shipping, they’re not a practical variety for commercial use.

    Laura also chats with Good Food host Evan Kleiman about Romano beans -- the flat, long, green and yellow beans that look like a flattened green bean. Evan prepares her Romanos in a simple tomato sauce.
