It’s time to give thanks to the folks who harvest our food. California’s farmworkers feed the world. KSQD presents excerpts from Rachel Anne Goodman’s Pastures of Plenty: A History of California Farmworkers documentary series. Guided by host, Luis Valdez, we’ll hear the voices of immigrants from China, Japan, the Philipines, Mexico and more, telling this long and dramatic story of the “Ellis Island of the West”, the agricultural fields.
