Growing Kale In Compton

Listen 7:15
Alma Backyard Farms in Compton is a lot of things to a lot of people. It grows fresh produce to sell to its neighbors, trains formerly incarcerated people to work the land, and teaches kids to garden and eat healthy meals. It brings the community together. During the dog days of summer, Brian De Los Santos and team went to see how it all works... and pick up some tomatoes. 

Guests:
Erika Cuellar and Richard Garcia, co-founders of Alma Farms
