People come to Baltimore and fall in love with it and dedicate their lives to making it better.  Rev. Al and I couldn't be more excited to welcome Farmer Chippy – a man who John Brothers couldn't stop talking about, so we had to bring him on and we quickly came to the conclusion he's a big time change maker.

Farmer Chippy: he's a farmer, he's community organizer, the father of two children, and a difference maker in a community that has face too many challenges for too long.

He started coming to Baltimore as a child to visit his grandfather from his home in Trinidad and Tobago. He fell in love with the place and laid down his roots coinciding the birth of his first son.

When he's not working and inspiring kids, he is building a reputation as someone that gets things done. He runs the largest Urban Farm in one of the state's most neglected neighborhoods.  Bringing trust, growing a little food, and providing "food for the mind." He's created a large following and he's leading his fellow citizens to the light.

Community organizing is his strength and he recently pulled together the Caribbean Community, which is prominent and proud in Park Heights, for a celebration of "Carnival" in Druid Hill Park – one of our favorite places.

We got an hour with him. It's a great talk and we quickly realized that this guy is Holy, his work is Holy, and we are lucky to have him as a full fledged advocate for our city. This is what Baltimore does for people. Rev. and I feel the same way as you do Farmer Chippy: Baltimore is indeed "The Greatest City in America."

Thanks for joining us and all you are doing for Baltimore.

Up Up and away we go...
