Show Notes
Farmer Rachel Opio of Little Lighthouse Farm exists to fight for the people who don't have access to fresh food. To do that, she focuses on the health of her soil in the heat of central Phoenix. It's a labor of love that started under her mother's wing in her own backyard experiment. Find out how Farmer Rachel addresses food deserts through education, accepting SNAP benefits, and more.
