For Jean and Jerry Thomas, organic farming came out of a love of gardening and an aversion to pesticides and the polluted world both of them grew up in around Los Angeles. Now, four decades later, they have handed a rich legacy to their children who are running Thomas Farms, a flower business that went through a long stage as an organic farm. In this podcast, they talk about how farming this way can help heal the planet and our own health. Air Date: January 14, 2018 on KSCO radio station AM1080
