It’s not just ‘Old MacDonald’ on the farm anymore. Across the U.S. there’s a growing movement of educated young people leaving the cities to take up an agrarian life. Armed with college degrees, some are unable to find jobs in the current economic slump. Fed up with corporate America and its influence on a broken food system they aim to solve some of the current system’s inequities by growing clean, fair food. Filmed on 12 farms throughout Georgia, GROW! takes a look at this new generation of sustainable farmers through the eyes, hearts and minds of 20 idealistic, passionate and independent young growers.
