It never is. One Bite is Everything explores the people, practices, policies, and power that shape what's on your plate. Through 150+ conversations with farmers, chefs, scientists, historians, and policy thinkers, each episode pulls back the curtain on a food system most of us navigate without really understanding. Real stories, real stakes, no lectures. These conversations don't stop at your headphones. They ripple outward through the For Farmers Movement, a weekly letter, and a community of eaters who are connecting more deeply with the farmers who make their food possible. One Bite is Everything airs every Thursday.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-23T20:19:30.211269+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/one-bite-is-everything-354028"},"episode":{"title":"Farmers Markets Aren’t as Simple as You Think","slug":"farmers-markets-aren-t-as-simple-as-you-think","published_at":"2026-05-07T09:15:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/one-bite-is-everything-354028/farmers-markets-aren-t-as-simple-as-you-think","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/one-bite-is-everything-354028","url":"https://www.onebiteiseverything.com/","audio_url":"https://episodes.captivate.fm/episode/44549283-d057-436c-9330-10e473a853ef.mp3","summary":"Inside the hidden systems, rules, economics, and realities shaping America’s farmers markets. Most people think they understand farmers markets. You show up. You buy produce, eggs, cheese, meat, flowers, or honey from a farmer. You support local food. Done. But behind every stand is an entire system most consumers never see. In this episode, Dana sits down with Catt Fields White for a fascinating conversation about what’s really happening behind the scenes at farmers markets across America and why the details matter far more than most of us realize. Catt has spent decades managing markets, training vendors, advising market managers nationwide, and helping shape conversations around farmers markets both nationally and globally. What emerges in this episode is a much more complex, and much more important, picture of local food than the charming Saturday morning version many people imagine. Together, Dana and Catt unpack: why farmers markets operate so differently from state to state the surprising history of farmers markets in America how regulations quietly shape what foods and businesses survive the hidden labor of managing a farmers market why some markets allow resellers and others ban them entirely how convenience influences consumer behavior more than we admit the tension between purity, practicality, access, and survival what “local food” actually means in different settings why farmers can earn dramatically more selling directly to consumers how policy and economics shape the food system in ways most people never see The conversation also explores a deeper question underneath all of it: What happens when the systems shaping our food become invisible to the people eating it? Because food is never just food. It’s economics. It’s regulation. It’s labor. It’s land.
