10,000 pounds of fresh produce given away—and they’re just getting started. Let Us Learn is proving that the fight against food insecurity begins in our own backyards.
In this episode of The Lou Review podcast, host Rosa Hart interviews Gina Brown (Founder) and Olivia Gamsky (Garden Support Lead) from the non-profit organization Let Us Learn, Inc. Based in Floyd County, Let Us Learn is addressing food insecurity and providing nutrition education through the power of community gardens.
What began with Gina’s passion for food and volunteering has blossomed into a grassroots movement that combines gardening, teaching, and local connection. Olivia brings her hands-on gardening experience to the table, helping with “all the things” to keep gardens thriving and produce flowing into the community.
Together, they share how their work is reshaping not just how people eat—but how communities bond and grow stronger.
The conversation highlights their innovative programs, the joy of teaching children about food and gardening, and the impact of distributing fresh, healthy produce throughout the community.
This episode shines a light on how food is more than nourishment—it’s a way to teach, connect, and empower. From cooking classes for kids to gardens that bring neighborhoods together, Let Us Learn is proving that grassroots initiatives can transform lives.
