This week, the show travels to Kansas to explore some hidden cultural gems in the state.

We head to ks.org/">Heartland Farm, a retreat founded 35 years ago by the Dominican Sisters of Peace with an aim to address the challenges of its rural Midwestern community. Site Director Sister Jane Belanger, Marketing Director Teresa Johnson, and Farm Manager Terra Crawford share how they welcome volunteers from far and wide to run a farm that promotes holistic well-being through agriculture.

And, we take the show to Topeka, the home of Fiesta Topeka, a celebration of Mexican-American heritage that has spanned decades. We meet the festival’s publicity chair Marisol Marcelo and captain of the event's kitchen Ginny Barron Jaramillo.
