Episode Descriptor:
The wisdom of a mother is never to be scorned. A dreamer. A community advocate. An entrepreneur. Over 50 years ago, this mother poised these questions, “What if the grocery store closed? How would you eat?” Unimaginable, yet prophetic, Addie Williams Pearson had a keen awareness of what would be possible in our day. Her daughter, Donna Pearson McClish, generously shares her family legacy story of the family farm that carries the mantle of making a significant impact on the development of urban agriculture across the nation while impacting the current food system in a positive manner and providing fresh produce to food deserts and food insecurity areas.
In Donna’s words, “When people don’t have access to healthy food, they do not have a quality of life.” HopeNet knows if the body isn’t well mental health is impacted and compromised unfavorably. Common Ground Producers and Growers is on mission to make sure entire communities have access and opportunity to be well.
