From urban farming in Detroit, the Traverse City Cherry Festival, to farmers markets in hundreds of Michigan cities, this state prides itself on its agriculture.

We are the most agriculturally diverse state, behind only California. And after manufacturing, agriculture is the state’s largest industry.

In this documentary, we’ll hear from these farm workers that bring these fruits and vegetables to our tables.
We’ll hear about the struggle for fair wages, good housing and how the immigration debate can affect the lives of the 94,000 migrant workers and their families in Michigan.
