Shopping for Swiss chard with chef Evan Funke amid the spring vegetable bounty

Dawn Birch of Flora Bella Farm brings her Swiss chard down from Three Rivers. She says the soil is what makes her chard so special. Certified organic for 31 years, the farm was a former horse pasture, so there have never been chemicals on the land. The farm is irrigated from snow melt that is run through sand filters and out into drip lines, enabling them to cut their water use by 60%. Cherries, heirloom tomatoes, and peppers are around the corner for the summer harvest.
