Are the Twin Cities #1 for Women’s Sports? Plus, What To Buy Right Now at the Farmers Market
As spring ramps up, you might be wondering what the best produce to get at farmers markets is – besides ramps of course! City Cast Twin Cities Host Sean McPherson gets the down low from beyond beurre blanc’s Kirstie Kimball on what to snag and how to act (please don’t try and barter with the farmers) at our farmers markets. Plus Saara Hassoun, president of our USL W Soccer team the Minnesota Aurora, gets into why the Twin Cities might be America's best metro area for women athletes … and what we could still improve. Finally, we open up a big, overflowing mailbag and Executive Producer Anna Weggel gives her cottage cheese power ranking.
