Sarah Anderson and Ben Anderson  founded Popes Produce in the the Illawarra, NSW.  A backyard wonderland, otherwise known as the market garden. Quietly tucked away into a north facing suburban pocket of coastal Woonona, NSW.

On land grown, farmed and loved by the same family for 100 years, Sarah is the next caretaker who enjoys reconnecting eaters to the roots of their food through tasty, ecological and wonder filled ways.

From a background of visual arts and retailing organic food, nothing makes Sarah happier than playing outside & inspiring home grown food adventures.

In this episode we talk about the life of Popes Produce, farm to plate, making mistakes, healthy food, urban planning, nature play and going back to our roots. Caring for ourselves and our communities through food and better design.

YMG would like to welcome Annie Johnson to the show. We ran across a post that Annie had about new "tiny homes" possibly being built. She encouraged the city to have them not only plant decorative landscape, BUT food bearing plants/trees mixed within. What a great idea to extend the new home owner sustainability in a small footprint. Today, we expand that discussion.

This week on The Farm Report, host Erin Fairbanks is joined by "Gangsta Gardener" Ron Finley an environmentalist & entrepreneur Nell Newman.

Ron Finley is a creative phenomenon: a gangsta horticulturalist, with a strong vision for community gardening and the eventual creation of "a school of nourishment and change." Nicknamed the “Gangsta Gardener” and the “Renegade Gardener”, Ron Finley planted organic vegetables in the parkway in front of his South Los Angeles home and a revolution was started. Ron’s belief that gardens build communities has blossomed into a quest to change how we eat and the eventual founding of the Ron Finley Project, an organization dedicated to changing culture and growing people.

Nell Newman co-founded Newman's Own® Organics: The Second Generation® with her father, Paul Newman in 1993. An ardent supporter of sustainable agriculture, Nell is a sought after speaker and has participated in numerous panels, sharing her commitment to organic food and products made from organic ingredients. Nell established the Nell Newman Foundation in November of 2010 with the goal of carrying on her father's legacy of charitable giving, coupled with her passion for the environment. She pursues many philanthropic opportunities in the world of sustainable agriculture and conservation – including helping Ron Finley raise money to build an urban garden in South Central L.A.
