first tv pilot

Toybox just shot the pilot for Urban Farmer at the farm where I volunteer, Hayground Organic. Urban Farmer follows the owners of the company, Jimmy Williams and his son, Logan, as they build edible gardens around Los Angeles. Part Lifestyle, part reality TV, Urban Farmer teaches the audience how to build gardens in different spaces, tend to the plants, and how to cook what they grow. I played myself, Ruthie, the actor who loves to farm.

The video below isn't the pilot, but it's a peek into Jimmy's world via a book he wrote called from Seed to Skillet. Jimmy learned all about vegetable gardening at the knee of his grandmother, a South Carolina native from a traditional Gullah community whose members were descendents of Caribbean slaves. He pays homage to his family history in this super awesome step-by-step guide to designing and planting a backyard vegetable garden and growing one's own food. Jimmy shares how easy it is to plan a garden, design and construct growing beds, tend the crop without using harmful chemicals, harvest gorgeous vegetables, and cook a delicious feast using his favorite family recipes...
