GROW! hat sighting at Pine Street Market

We found this on Sweet Peach, one of our favorite Southern blogs.

The guy wearing the hat is Rusty Bowers, owner and genius of Pine Street Market in Avondale Estates, where you can find The Best Bacon in Atlanta and lots of other deliciousness.

If you have a photo of yourself in a GROW! hat, send it in and we'll post it here!

GROW!
A 60 minute documentary that captures the energy and independence of a fresh crop of young farmers.

It's not just 'Old MacDonald' on the farm anymore. All across the U.S. there is a growing movement of educated young people who are 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. Mostly landless, they borrow, rent or manage farmland in order to fulfill their dreams of doing something meaningful with their lives.

GROW! takes a look at this new generation of sustainable farmers through the eyes, hearts and minds of 20 passionate, idealistic and fiercely independent young growers. In the film they speak of both the joys and the challenges involved in tending the land.

Filmed on 12 farms throughout the state of Georgia during an entire growing season, GROW! provides an honest and inspiring look at this next generation of farmers.

Anybody who appreciates the value of good, wholesome food grown close to home, who cares about our food supply and the future of farming will want to see GROW!
