Before farm-to-table became a trend, it was simply a way of life.In this episode of the PUSH Sea Moss Podcast, host Cynthia Gitonga explores the beautiful legacy of Edna Lewis, the legendary chef who helped preserve and elevate the story of seasonal Southern cooking, farming, and food rooted in the land.We talk about Edna’s beginnings in Freetown, Virginia, the traditions that shaped her cooking, and how so much of what we now call farm-to-table, clean eating, seasonal living, and even slow living has deep roots in Black communities.Cynthia also takes the conversation to Jamaica, where growing your own food, harvesting coconuts, making castor oil, using herbs, raising animals, and knowing the people behind your food have been part of everyday life for generations. She shares how these same traditions inspire PUSH Sea Moss and PUSH Farms today.This episode is about more than food. It’s about ancestry, ownership, wellness, farming, memory, and returning to the source—and remembering that some of today’s biggest wellness “trends” aren’t new at all.Come sit with us. 🌿
