Horticulturalist Niccole C Radhe joins for this episode. She breaks down the importance of reconnecting with our food through gardening and sourcing locally grown products. Niccole makes the case that, in addition to being healthy and tasty, consciously grown food promotes positive impacts to the environment, ecology, community, and society.

Niccole describes methods to overcome barriers to growing and sourcing local organic food. She shares ideas on how to become involved in your community gardens and farmers markets, and the benefits to be had in doing so.
