In this powerful episode of The Lily Pod, we sit down with Lisa Freeman, founder of Freeman Family Farm Store, to uncover her deeply personal and transformational journey. From fighting off lawsuits and navigating her husband’s terminal cancer diagnosis, to building a vibrant urban farm in Pittsburgh’s North Side — Lisa’s story is one of perseverance, purpose, and community power.
💚 Discover how Freeman Family Farm went from a condemned warehouse to a community oasis offering donation-based fresh food, meal prep classes, and a mission of food as medicine.
💬 We talk:
•The healing power of gardening
•Urban agriculture as activism
•Grief, faith, and finding purpose after loss
•What capitalism is doing to our neighborhoods — and how we resist
•Why mutual aid and growing our own food is more crucial than ever
Whether you’re into food justice, grassroots change, or just need to hear an inspiring testimony of turning pain into purpose — this episode is a must watch.
