From the Ground Up

What can a bowl of spinach tell you about community, belonging, and what it means to truly welcome a neighbor? Ann McGlynn, founder and executive director of Tapestry Farms in Davenport, Iowa, joins Mark and Jess to share how a simple gift of homegrown food from a refugee family sparked a nonprofit urban farm system that has now served over 130 families and grown tens of thousands of pounds of fresh produce across the Quad Cities. They talk about the intersection of farming, dignity, and healing — and why the word flourishing means something different when you've had to leave everything behind to start over. A conversation about roots, in every sense of the word.Thanks to the incredible production team of Sorta Sacred:Music: Brian Schou Design: Lauren Brown Merch: Allison Winter
