We¡¯re knee-deep in summer and in this episode, we¡¯re talking gardening, farming and what to do with all the great stuff the earth is giving us. We talk to Leah Penniman of?Soul Fire Farm?in upstate New York. She is a farmer and activist dedicated to eradicating racism and the author of?Farming While Black. Then, we head to Michigan, the home of chef/farmer Abra Berens. Abra is the author of the James Beard Award-nominated?Ruffage, A Practical Guide to Vegetables,?and who better to help Francis solve your gardening and cooking questions? Abra leaves us with a terrific recipe for Zucchini Escab¨¦che, squash that is cooked and then cooled in a vinaigrette. Take that sweltering summer!
