Rob Greenfield has just completed his year-long project to grow and forage 100% of his food. Come listen to his story and be inspired to grow some of your own food.

Rob Greenfield has just completed his year long project to grow and forage 100% of his food. That's an entire year with no grocery stores, restaurants or even a nibble from a friend's pantry. Rob did this without land of his own, instead growing food in the front yards of people in his neighborhood of Audubon Park, while living in a 100 sq. ft. tiny house. Come to be inspired to grow some of your own food and live in a happier, healthier and more sustainable manner right here in Central Florida!
