This series of episodes grew out of our January series on year-round local food, in which Stewart from Cedar Valley Permaculture suggested we can meaningfully shift our food system by growing more of our own food. So how are people making this happen? How are people already coming together to grow both food and new food systems? Throughout this series, we’ll look at a couple helpful Midwestern stories — one in Carbondale, Illinois and one in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Together, they reveal a breadth of approaches to community gardening that have taught me a heck of a lot and that I hope will inspire you. This episode, we’re in conversation with Kirk Jones of Project Grow. Partisan Gardens - Carbondale Spring: http://www.partisangardens.org/podcast/december-2020-carbondale-spring/
