KYWS Community Conversations 92.9FM West Sacramento

Chanowk Yisrael of the Yisrael Family Farm talks about his path to urban farming

"Judith and Chanowk run Yisrael Farms, which started as a half acre urban farm nestled in the heart of Sacramento and has now grown to multiple locations. Their farm is a sustainable community resource, a story of love, perseverance, and reverence for the earth’s rhythms.

Their neighborhood is a historically working-class area now battling food apartheid, poverty, and gentrification. It’s a familiar story for communities of color.
