Rooted in the Valley: ‘Sweet Girl’ Liset Garcia Spreads the Joy of Farming
Liset Garcia grew up helping her folks sell freshly grown produce from the San Joaquin Valley in Los Angeles neighborhoods and dreamed of becoming a doctor.
Somehow, along the way, the medical student found herself running a stand at her parent’s Reedley farm and becoming a social media hit.
She still wants to become a doctor but, for now, agriculture has a hold on her heart.
Find out why in the second video in our Rooted in the Valley series that digs into small farmers and the challenges they face.
