| 0:00.0 | What is up everyone? Welcome back to the Epic Gardening Podcast. I am Kevin and I'm joined |
| 0:06.8 | by L.B. the founder of Farm-based Foodie, that's a company that specializes in mobile organic agriculture solutions, getting people |
| 0:15.0 | to eat more plants, which is going to be a good thing for most of us, all of us, I would say, |
