This week, we’re talking to Martina Leforce of Berea Kids Eat about feeding programs, gardening, local chicken laws, and pet ducks. Jenny, who is still looking for new hens for her flock, didn’t know that she wouldn’t even be able to raise chickens in town if not for local activists’ work in changing livestock ordinances from the turn of the twentieth century! Becca speaks about volunteering with the local feeding program during the current school closure, and we ponder local networks and how long-time partnerships have allowed for the distribution of 1000s of meals during the COVID-19 crisis. Bonus: Katie and Martina discover a common acquaintance in their pasts.
