A story that can only be told by acknowledging her Cleveland, Ohio and Georgian roots, Jennifer Lumpkin only knew food through her family. The community organizer and grower recalls memories of food swapping with family members, receiving mango shipments from auntie in Florida, and their front yard being a supermarket. They created their own food system, one that aimed to reflect her great-grandfather's legacy as a sharecropper. This episode unravels Jennifer's family food story, highlights her farming experiences in Washington, D.C., and we pay a visit to Cleveland where she is back organizing voter campaigns, while still growing food.
