Cooking on the Wildside

Phyllis Speer is known statewide (and beyond) as co-host of AETN’s Arkansas Outdoors, where she shares the beauty of Arkansas and the many activities available to sportsmen, conservationists and others who just enjoy the outdoors. “Cooking on the Wild Side: A Farmers’ Market Tour with Phyllis” is a nice compliment to her love of the outdoors she shares with viewers each week as she tours the fresh air event's that are our farmers' market.

See more of Phyllis on the Arkansas Outdoors webpage.

Special Bonus Video

Phyllis visits Cone Farms in Sheridan, Arkansas where they are growing organic heirloom tomatoes. These old-fashioned tomatoes are unique because they are grown in greenhouses and available year round. When Phyllis visits Arkansas Natural Produce in Social Hill, owner Jay Fulbright shows Phyllis how they are using greenhouse technology to grow lettuces and herbs. She also highlights Arkansasfood.net and Foodshed Farm’s Basket-a-Month program that provides members with fresh locally grown produce, milk, meats, cheese and grains year round.

Viewer Comments

As a former officer in Arkansas Certified Organic, Inc., I am fully committed to organic sustainable farming. I am thrilled this program can be seen on AETN. The Foodshed Farm's Basket-a-Month program is very interesting to me. I applaud AETN for familiarizing Arkansans with the knowlege and possibilities of organic production as well as support for our organic farmers statewide.
