Our Guest:
Jeremy is a Phoenix native and serial entrepreneur with a newfound passion for healing Earth’s soils and building resilient, self-sufficient communities. To that end, he’s launched Homegrown, a 501(c)(3) charity with a vision for a world in which public & private food forests blanket urban areas everywhere, and food shortages become a topic in history books. He’s building this vision through a handful of industry-disrupting ventures and programs including a neighborhood food rescue, permaculture-based landscaping services, and a soil health-focused real estate business.
