It’s a new year on Fresh-from-the-Field Fridays, and Dan the Produce Man brings you four in-season favorites.

A brief field update from strawberry fields in Watsonville.

We also get into sunchokes. Are these sunny artichokes? Well, not really. Find out what this tasty tuber is all about.

It’s all right here on Fresh-from-the-Field Fridays, on the Produce Industry Network and AgLife Media.
