IndiEdibles promotes local food, farms via Internet and its Russell Industrial Center space

Farming and film aren't two subjects that normally go together, but they do with Detroit’s newest start-up IndiEdibles.

"We have created a model of making urban farming happen in large metropolises," says Michael Peters, co-creator and host of IndiEdibles.

The company creates online TV shows every two weeks that are geared at promoting local food, farming, cultural events, and 'how to' demonstrations. The four people behind IndiEdibles are trying to capture some of the momentum caused by the spreading urban farming trend that has taken root across the U.S., especially in cities like Detroit, Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti.

The company has leased 10,000 square feet of space at the Russell Industrial Center. Indi Edibles also hopes to bring on some interns soon to help with its expanding workload.
