Episode 126: Best of Tent Talk: Dr. Gail Myers on advocating for Black farmers

This week we’re revisiting our conversation with Dr. Gail Myers, Agri-Cultural Anthropologist and co-founder of Farms to Grow, Inc. In our interview we chat about the inspiration for Farms to Grow Inc., what it takes to run a community farmers market with a mission, and the importance of studying the history of our food systems.

Dr. Myers and her team are currently wrapping up post production on a multimedia documentary that explores the history of Black farmers in the United States. Support her efforts during Black History Month by visiting https://www.rhythmsoftheland.com/ and donating to that project!
