In episode 157, Garrett sits down with Joseph Dalessio, founder of Meacham Urban Farm, to talk about how he built a two acre organic farm right in the middle of downtown Tampa. What started as a vacant, rubble covered lot is now producing over 60,000 pounds of food a year, feeding the community, partnering with local schools, and proving that farming can thrive in the urban core. Joe shares the story behind the farm’s creation, Tampa’s forgotten agricultural roots, and his vision for bringing real food back to the city.
