Salem Farmers’ Market is a proud sponsor of Grown in Detroit  at the Salem Film Festival March 4 – 11, 2011 www.salemfilmfest.com. The movie will be shown at the National Park Service on New Liberty and Essex St. Saturday, March 5 at 1:30 pm and at Cinema Salem Tuesday, Mar 8 at 5:15 pm. Learn more about urban farming and be inspired.

This is the film’s New England Premier. The Film has previously been awareded; Best Documentary – Austin Film Festival; Hot Springs Documentary Film Festival; Sarasota Film Festival; International Millenium Festival, Brussels

“Detroit has earned its notorious title as one of the most dangerous cities in the U.S. Where residents once had major supermarkets and affordable, healthy dining, now liquor stores sell groceries from behind bullet-proof glass and fast food restaurants are rampant. Amidst all this negativity the city and its residents are emerging with their own solution. Nature has taken over and the city is ‘greening’ from within – more than one third of the city has become green again.  GROWN IN DETROIT focuses on the urban gardening efforts managed by a public school of 300, mainly African-American, pregnant and parenting teenagers. As part of the curriculum, the girls are taught agricultural skills on the school’s own farm. The young mothers are learning by farming to become more independent women and knowledgeable about the importance of nutritional foods. “Back to the roots”, a simple yet effective solution for a city that has to start all over again and perhaps a lesson to be learned for the rest of the world.”
