Series 2, Episode 4 of What’s Good in the Neighborhood is here!

If you went on our Drive Tour, you heard Chris De Leon talking about the YoVille Community Garden in Southwest Fresno. Chris joins the pod to chat more in depth about the current state of food insecurity in the agricultural capital of America, what kind of dignity we instill in each other and ourselves when we grow our own food, and why the existence of community gardens mean we all thrive.
