Before Locals Food Hub, there was a childhood on a Metcalfe County farm. Birch Bragg reflects on the sacrifices his parents made, running through the fields as a kid, and the gratitude he holds for his late father, the roots that shaped his deep love for Kentucky and nature. That same love eventually led him to buy his own farm, so his kids could grow up with a piece of that same childhood. What's a piece of your own upbringing you hope to pass down?

Birch Bragg makes the case that pizza is legitimate farm-to-table food, not a compromise. It's an affordable vehicle for local ingredients, built on a sourdough crust that's easier to digest and fresh-ground whole wheat organic flour. Birch even remembers defending pizza to his own mom as a kid. Next time you're in Frankfort or Louisville, taste the difference for yourself.

At Locals Food Hub, a $20 SNAP purchase can turn into $60 in groceries. Birch Bragg explains the Double Dollars partnership with the Community Farm Alliance, and the new Triple Dollars program made possible by a generous donation. This is what real food access looks like in Louisville and Frankfort. Know someone who could use this program? Tag them or share this post.

Most government agriculture funding goes to industrial ag and multinational corporations, not local farmers. Birch Bragg unpacks how confined animal feeding operations get subsidized to produce cheap fast food while underserved communities are left with stores offering little beyond unhealthy options. This is the food desert conversation Louisville needs to hear. Have you noticed a food desert in your own neighborhood? Drop it in the comments.

We filmed this conversation inside the empty Mellwood Art Center, the very space that will come alive on October 14 with chefs, food, drinks, music, and people from across Louisville.

Gordon Food Service and US Foods may be competitors, but Tom Enyeart and Kimberlie Thompson are coming to the same table as co-chairs of the 52nd annual Taste of Louisville.

They join me to share their personal journeys, what diners never see behind the restaurant industry, and how one incredible night can help feed our neighbors and provide coats for local children.

A conversation about food, service, sacrifice, and the people behind Louisville’s tables.

Coming soon to Kentucky’s Wandering Realtor.

The Taste of Louisville
Wednesday, October 14 | 6–9 p.m.
Mellwood Art Center

Locals Food Hub & Pizza Pub wasn't built to just sell pizza. Co-owner Birch Bragg breaks down the original vision: a resilient local food system built on intentionally purchasing from Kentucky farmers, increasing food access in underserved communities, and educating people on why locally sourced food matters. This is the "why" behind everything Locals does in Louisville and Frankfort. If you haven't stopped by the Frankfort or Louisville location yet, this is the mission you'd be supporting.

Some words stay with you long after the conversation ends.

“My father drilled into us that God is love. And so, in love is action.”

In my conversation with Metro United Way President and CEO Adria Johnson, she shared how faith, family and service shaped not only the leader she became, but how she chooses to move through life.

This is Stories That Stay With You, a new series revisiting powerful moments from the Kentucky’s Wandering Realtor archive, presented through the storytelling lens of Arc & Ember Media.

Because the best conversations don’t end when the cameras stop rolling.

Not every great find at the Kentucky Bourbon Festival comes in a bottle.
Beyond the pours, we met the makers bringing bourbon culture to life in unexpected ways:
Beaumont Candle Company — handcrafted bourbon-inspired candles Pappy & Company — bourbon lifestyle and home goods Toasted Simple — real-food culinary syrups for cocktails and more Bar Toast — custom bar and distillery products
These businesses are part of what makes the Kentucky Bourbon Festival experience bigger than bourbon.
Which one would you stop by first?

Hannah Drake's mother started picking cotton when she was 8 years old. For years, Hannah heard the story, but she never truly understood it. So she went to Mississippi and picked cotton herself, not as a project, but as a way to get closer to a woman she realized she never fully knew. What she found in that field wasn't just about her mother's past, it was permission to finally see her mother as a whole person, not just a role. Hannah opens up about grieving the mother she wished she had, and learning to accept the one she actually got. Full conversation on Kentucky's Wandering Realtor.

Hannah Drake says artists are usually the first to be targeted, because their gift is making people think differently, and that's uncomfortable for a lot of people. She's nervous every single time she walks on stage, knowing she has something to say that people need to hear, even when it doesn't bring her joy. She's received death threats for telling the truth. Hannah shares why she keeps showing up anyway, and what she believes her responsibility is as an artist. Full conversation on Kentucky's Wandering Realtor.
