    <description>The Grit City Podcast is a weekly audio experience like no other! Hosted from the vibrant city of Tacoma, Washington - also known as "Grit City," our show has been entertaining and informing listeners since 2014. And what a ride it's been! 
Every week, we release a new episode that introduces you to the dynamic and inspiring individuals who call the Pacific Northwest home. From local business owners and entrepreneurs to authors, artists, and unique characters, our guests embody the hard-working, blue-collar spirit that Grit City is known for. And let's not forget the occasional drug-fueled weirdo we may have met at a comedy club the night before!
The Grit City Podcast first launched back in the summer of 2014 and quickly built a loyal fanbase of listeners who appreciated the show's unique perspective on the Seattle/Tacoma area. After a brief hiatus in 2017, the podcast was rebooted in 2018, with even more friends and family members involved. It quickly regained its "must listen to" status and went on to deliver an impressive 275 episodes and counting, delivering over 280 hours of audio content to our fans since. With no signs of slowing down soon!
Our mission at The Grit City Podcast is simple: to bring the hard-working spirit of the Pacific Northwest to the world and have a good time doing it! We aim to create a community of listeners who understand and appreciate the concept of "grit". With a focus on local business owners, entrepreneurs, and unique characters, sprinkled with a good dose of humor, The Grit City Podcast is a one-of-a-kind audio experience that you won't want to miss.

  <description>On this episode of the GCP, the guys talk with David Thompson from the Tacoma chapter of the Food is Free Project.  The Food is Free Project is a worldwide movement of people sharing food freely.  The organization strives for food-sharing that advocates for front yard gardens and sharing among neighbors in order to help in growing the community. 
03:00 – Justin gives a shout out to Rusty, frequent podcast visitor and one of the owners of the Church Cantina, talks about who they ran into at the McKinley Street Fair, and David talks about what Food is Free does.  He explains that they have 10 gardens around Tacoma, how they use it to build the community, and why he got shut down by the health department due to not having a permit to share cider at the McKinley Street Fair.  He shares how Food is Free got started, when he started it in Tacoma, and Justin shares where people can find Food is Free online.
10:36 – David expands on how he got started, they talk about the struggles of low income homes getting fresh fruits and vegetables, and the importance for people to share what they grow with their neighbors.  David shares where the 10 locations are around Tacoma, why he grows the gardens, and gives tips for people wanting to start one.  Scott explains what TAGRO, short for Tacoma Grow is, David talks on what are some of people’s favorite vegetables, and Justin shares his love for brussel sprouts.
20:07 – David explains what his event “Press Day Wednesday” is, what Food is Free being an open source project means, and talks about the Shroom Brothers t-shirts that will be available online in November.  Justin then dives into coaster questions, David talks about the easiest and hardest vegetables to grow, and if he ever grew something he didn’t want to give away.  He comments on not being vegetarian, Scott talks about the cars they saw at the car show, and David talks about what got him into being a mechanic.  
31:19 – David talks about the car he would love to have, Justin talks about him and Michelle owning a Jaguar car, and Justin shares where people can find Food is Free online.  David encourages people that would like more information to contact him and their plans to expand to 15 - 20 gardens in 2020.
Thanks David for joining the guys to talk about the great work that Food is Free does for the area! Special Guest: David Thompson.
