73. Boggs Tract Community Farm - September 30, 2013
/First Jobs. Do you remember your first job? Matt and Susan remember theirs.
Matt got his start at Shakey's Pizza, working in the scullery and Susan started her professional life scooping ice cream at Swensen's Ice Cream. Journey back in time and share their first job experiences.
Boggs Tract Community Farm
Puentes Americas is developing an urban farm and garden in the Boggs Tract area of Stockton. This area is known as a food desert, where residents have no grocery store or fresh food close by. The Boggs Tract Community Farm aims to support local residents with setting up a farmers’ market to generate revenue that will ultimately go towards creating urban farms throughout San Joaquin County.
Recently, Matt spent some time at the Boggs Tract Community Farm and spoke with Harriet, Marty Segal, Shanna Eller, Eric Firpo, Shayne Zurilgen, and Susan Mora-Loyko.
