Urban gardens make news as farmers protest a forced eviction at South Central Farm in Los Angeles, considered one of the largest urban farms in the U.S. Forty protestors are arrested amid a property dispute. Though the farm has no official spokesperson, several women farmers including Rufina Juarez, Josefina Medina, and Maria Cavero rise to the forefront as advocates for the farm.
