Please check out the following CBS Story to see former PG youth staff, Tevah “V” El Emmet chop it up with CBS5. He speaks of his life, his work with People’s Grocery, and his blazin’ eco-conscience brand of Hip-Hop. You also get to see him choppin’ it up not only at People’s Grocery cooking class, but also on the Mic. We are proud of you Tevah!

Every week People’s Grocery holds open work hours for our two urban gardens in north Oakland. May it be one volunteer or ten, the help is always welcome and appreciated, giving our urban garden and Grub Box manager, Jason Uribe, a chance to get to know more people from the community and teach some urban gardening skills. Groups from schools and organizations also join us to learn about People’s Grocery, organic gardening, and jut to get their hands dirty!
In November the group Roots and Shoots visited our 59th street garden. Parents and their children prepared vegetable beds, planted beans and cover crop, pulled weeds and played.
