We're Back with a BBQ, Dessert, and Sharp New Episode with Food Farms and Chefs Radio Show, Episode 311!

Our host is spending time with Geoff Feder, the first guest of the new year. Geoff is the owner of Feder Knives, a business that provides the necessary tools every chef needs. Forging knives not only make a statement (check out his signature design collection) but are the perfect tools for any professional or budding chef. Geoff's craftsmanship hails from an artists and chefs background, where he melds the artistry behind blacksmith and creativity in the kitchen, designing knives that will help give you the cutting edge over your competition. However, Geoff emphasized that his knives are not for show, he wants you to use them daily to create delish meals at home, and to forget that you're using an exemplary tool--enjoy the ease that the sharp edges and careful craftsmanship garners for every slice, dice, and chop that you make. https://federknives.com Next, we spoke with Owners Chris & Jen Harvey of Pond Pit BBQ, located in Sandy Creek, NY. Chris and Jen offer a variety of smoked meats along with a plethora of scratch-made sauces, side dishes, and desserts inside Pond Pit BBQ, all of which you can find on their facebook page. The complexity of the flavors are a result of being in the smoker for at least 12 hours along with dry rubs and for the Turkey...a twice brining process. And for anyone who enjoys Pork Rinds, feel free to visit and have them made-to-order, or try their viral sensation: The Pig Pen, offering a selection of their smoked meats and sides with two BBQ sauces.
