Take Back The Farm

There's a "growing" awareness in the U.S. about our food...where it comes from, how it's grown, and what exactly it takes to feed all of us nutritious, earth-conscious meals. In this episode, we explore farmers of all types in all kinds of situations. From Ron Finley, a renegade gardener in south central Los Angeles to south Georgia farmer, Will Harris, we'll meet people who are changing the way we think about and consume food. Lawn and garden expert Paul Tukey gives us some surprising revelations about how we moved from growing our own food to our fascination with perfect lawns. We'll get the story from a suburban man who became a local outlaw for "growing too many vegetables." We wrap with a quick trip to Chipotle, a national chain that's taking a local approach to their food supply.
