Today's guest is Christopher Gomez Wong. I invited Chris to be a guest on the podcast because I wanted him to promote Calexico Farmer's market,  Chris has been a huge part of Calexico's Farmers Market since day 1 and he's been doing this as a volunteer for the past 6 years.  This is one of the many things Chris does for our community ... for the youth in our community.  He is also the advisor for the Calexico High School Eco-Garden Club, where he also volunteers his time, Chris shows our students how to grow and maintain a small garden of an assortment of vegetables and spices that are then used by the culinary class at Calexico High.  For his day job Chris works for University of California Cooperative Extension, where he works with groups in our community that fall under the SNAP-Ed program one of the most interesting parts of his job and the part he hope Calexico teachers can take advantage of is where comes in and helps teachers and students work on a small garden, teach them PE activities and also talk about healthy eating choices.  Chris hopes that more Calexico teacher take advantage of this program he's working for and if you're a teacher and you're interested you can reach Chris at:
