Community Spotlight: Oral Food History Pt. 5

In honor of the Thanksgiving season, join us for a limited Community Spotlight series on Oral Food History Projects, produced by students from the University of Arkansas' Department of Agricultural Economics and Agribusiness.

Today Pete talks with student Marcela Marqueda about her grandmother's experience growing up in the isolated backwoods of Northwest Arkansas during the 1950s.  Marcela describes what is lost, as well as what is gained, from the evolution of agricultural and consumption practices that we experience today. 

Stay tuned for more installations of the Oral Food History series. 

Pete Hartman is KUAF's operations manager.
