How do you build a radical black farm in the middle of East Oakland? With a bold vision, an activist family, and the help of one small, stimulating green plant. This is the amazing, hilarious, 100% true story of Full Harvest Farm in Oakland, CA. Featuring the Full Harvest farmers Karissa and Region Lewis, the video shows how this powerhouse couple went from growing weed to growing organic tomatoes to growing something much bigger than they ever imagined. Just in time for 4/20 and Earth Day!
