Growing Power Chicago
Clip: 7/31/2013 | 5mVideo has Closed Captions
We look at Growing Power, an organization that teaches farming and entrepreneurial skills.
In the heart of Chicago, shaded by the afternoon shadow of Michigan Avenue skyscrapers, watered by the mist of Buckingham Fountain wafting through the air, is a farm. The surprising site is one of many small, sustainable, organic farms that have been created and are run by Growing Power, an organization that teaches farming and entrepreneurial skills to kids in Chicago.
