I really appreciate the effort that goes into these podcast episodes, but I have to say this one didn't quite land for me. The topic sounded promising, but the conversation felt a bit surface-level...I was hoping for more practical takeaways or real examples from schools that are actually implementing these ideas.

It's still great to see attention being brought to Farm to School programs, but I think diving a little deeper or including more diverse voices could really make future episodes more engaging and useful.

Looking forward to seeing how the next one evolves!
