In this week's episode, we sit down with Tolu Igun. A land steward, community organizer, and educator currently based in Washington, DC. This is Tolu's fifth season distributing and growing fresh food in the DMV. She started OlaLekan Farm, a destination in the community for wellness, wholesome connection, and education in 2022 and loves to grow and cook with ginger, okra, and hot peppers the most. Their mission is to heal the soil, elevate awareness surrounding food sovereignty, and empower beginning farmers and land stewards. In this episode, we dive into topics such as:

Building community on the farm
The Hidden Cost of Farming
Making revenue through the land
The Importance of Setting up the New Grow Season
