 Urban Roots

a tale of urban renewal through gardening and farming

What people are saying about this film

Leonardo DiCaprio
“Urban Roots is an inspiring film about the emergence of urban farming in Detroit; it shows what’s possible after the collapse of the industrial era and how we begin building a sustainable future for all.”

Thom Hartmann
“I was blown away by this film!”
Baz Luhrmann
"America has another war, it's a food war that the urban farmers of Detroit are winning. In Urban Roots it's emotional and inspiring to see Motown go Growtown"

Kid Rock
"Urban Roots is a very uplifting documentary about a much needed 'thinking outside the box' approach to helping save our city of Detroit. It shines a light on a grassroots movement that is helping to solve several major problems in our city––literally, from the ground up.”

Amber Valletta
“This film feels timely and needed in our nature starved electronic world! I loved the sharing , educating and giving that these urban farmer’s are doing for their communities. ‘Urban Roots’ inspired me to plant more seeds in my backyard,”

 

We are proud to welcome back;

Lorynn the Redhead

on the main stage

Lorynn The Redhead, originally from Orlando, FL, calls herself the angst-ridden folk singer - and rightfully so. Her songs are a mixture of heartache and relationship angst, but she's been known to surprise her audiences with a few love ballads here and there. She most recently played at Fair Park's 4th of July Booms & Blooms, a Breast Cancer Benefit for Baylor Hospital, Deep Ellum Arts Festival and the Bishop Arts Crawl II. She's also played local gigs at The Bone, Dunn Bros Coffee Shop, and It's a Grind, among other venues in the DFW area. In Florida she played at House of Blues, Borders, Lost and Found and Nsync's Challenge for the  Children in Miami as well as local coffee shops and arts festivals...

Barn Aid is an annual event intended to educate our community and raise awareness and support for local food producers, small farming and sustainability in DFW and North Texas through fellow organizations working to better our food security in DFW.  The event is being put on by volunteers and fellow small producers in the local food community. Most have graciously given of their time, expertise and either donated or provided products at cost-only for the event, in order to keep the costs down. The farm uses only a small portion of each ticket sold to secure food, beverage and other non-donated items for the event.

The majority of each ticket sold goes to our chosen beneficiary;
