Fighting For Food with Wen-Jay Ying

Eating local and seasonally is THE BEST way to UP your nutrition and health. But, we all know acess to that isn’t always easy- especially if you live in big cities. That’s why Wen-Jay started Local Roots, a subscription based farmers market that brings quality produce to those in the NYC area. But, when COVID hit, Wen-Jay shifted her entire business in just 2 days. Becoming an essential worker, she shares why she kept going, the mission that fuels her, and what it’s been like as an Asian American these last few months.
