Today’s episode of Neighbors is all about farming but probably not the type of farming you are thinking of. My guest is Christa Barfield, owner and operator of several organic farming brands and businesses in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Life Leaf Organic Farms is the parent company to Viva Leaf Tea Company which provides high quality, healthful tea with traceable origins as well as a Community Shared Agriculture (CSA) program called Farmer Jawn. Christa’s mission is focused on regenerative farming practices and increasing access to organic food to marginalized communities.

Today my guest is Nancy Linville. Nancy is a local business owner in Glenside, Pennsylvania just outside of Philadelphia. Her business is called Partyville and on today’s show I had an opportunity to talk with Nancy to learn more about her business, how she is supporting her local community, as well as the challenges she has faced throughout the COVID 19 Pandemic and how she made the most out of a tough situation.
