What if you could grow your own food in someone else's yard? In Portland, you can. In this episode we talk with Dan Sloan, executive director of the Portland Food Forest initiative, about why he started an organization that aims to replace lawns with food-bearing ecosystems. We also meet Brian Allen, whose life changed after he moved into a home with a food forest in the backyard. And we hear an original song by Portland musician Ryan Kwan.
