Welcome to this week’s Atlanta Foodcast! We’ve got another great lineup for you today...as well as a quick announcement.

On today’s show, you’ll first hear from guest host Quianah Upton of Nourish in Black and Nourish Botanica in conversation with Israel from Mariposas Rebeldes, a queer, Latinx urban ag and food collective, and indigenous healer Myrna De Jesús Rivera in an excellent two-part segment.

Then, we’re celebrating watermelon season, talking with the Georgia Watermelon Queen Lindsey Westberry, an ambassador for the Georgia Watermelon Association, supporters of our recent Farm to School Summit. Learn more about the Georgia Watermelon Association at georgiawatermelonassociation.org and view watermelon recipes at watermelon.org/recipes/. Connect with them on social media at facebook.com/gawatermelons and follow the Watermelon Queen at instagram.com/gawatermelonqueen/.

And to close us out, we’re checking in with Demetrius Milling (featured on Eater.com!) on the next stages of the Love is Love Cooperative Farm. Learn more about Love is Love, support them or join their CSA at loveislovefarm.com/. Follow their progress at Facebook.com/LoveisLoveFarm and instagram.com/loveislovefarm/. We also spoke about a keystone cooperative in Georgia, the Federation Of Southern Cooperatives/Land Assistance Fund Georgia federation.coop/

And for that announcement...we’re going to end this season and take a summer break! Time to catch our collective breath, enjoy the sunshine and great season of produce, then come back this fall with more great guests in the Georgia food world.
