Three childhood friends open an urban farm in the Kinsman neighborhood with the dream of producing fresh vegetables, farm-raised Tilapia fish and jobs for inner-city residents. The founding partners of the Rid-All Green Partnership — Randall McShepard, Keymah Durden, and Damien Forshe — talk about their growing business.

Workers at the Rid-All urban farm in Cleveland had planned on building their fourth greenhouse on Saturday Nov. 19, but opted to begin work on a 1,000-watt solar station instead. “‘Keep it moving,’ that’s our motto,” sad Rid-All co-founder Damien Forshe. In this video clip, Forshe talks about getting off the grid. Dan Weaver, owner of Windsor Greenhouse in Ashtabula County talks about building greenhouses for Rid-All, and Tim Lewis of Green In The Ghetto, A Rid-All partner, talks about educating children about urban farming and eating healthy.
