For the last decade as a chef in Baltimore, Spike Gjerde has cooked with an unwavering commitment to the Mid-Atlantic—its land and waters and its community of growers. Choosing to work within his region meant that when life gave him lemons he bought verjus instead. Through this work, Spike has returned millions of dollars back to area farms and in turn discovered a distinctive Chesapeake terroir that he’s on a mission to preserve and advance. With ORIGINS, Spike presents the story of this food as told by those who grow, make, process, preserve, and cook it. Engaging, entertaining conversations will inform and challenge listeners to consider that an alternative to commodity agriculture and processed food already exists.
This show records and broadcasts LIVE on Full Service Radio from the lobby of the LINE DC in Adams Morgan, Washington DC.

Julia Feder, FRESHFARM Executive Director
Julia Feder brings two decades of experience with non-profit institutions and program oversight to her work as Executive Director of FRESHFARM. As a strategic storyteller, community builder, and activator of sustainability efforts, Julia is driven to introduce more people to the deliciousness of our region’s bounty. Perhaps what she enjoys most, though, is eating seasonally and knowing the stories and farmers behind the food she’s feeding her family. Julia holds a B.A. in English Literature and Psychology from the University of Michigan and a M.S. in Environmental Studies with a focus in environmental education from Antioch University. Her favorite market food? It’s always changing but right now she’s loving nectarines and pickled carrots.
