Welcome back to The Good Tea. The podcast where we’re spilling goodness! 🍵✨In this episode, we sit down with Sara Continenza, founder and executive director of Food Strong, a Cleveland-based nonprofit dedicated to cultivating food justice and building sustainable local food systems from the ground up. We dive into the powerful idea that food is medicine, and how Sara has built Food Strong into a community-driven movement—working with neighborhoods to increase access to fresh food, education, and long-term health. From school garden programs and culinary education to urban farming and mobile farm stands, her work is transforming under-resourced communities into spaces of education, empowerment, and connection.
