Punk Rock Farmer
Aldine “Al” Grossi is passionate about two things in life: music & good food. To fans of radio station KRCL, Aldine is known as the Punk Rock Farmer, a head-banging nod to his early years as a Salt Lake City punk rocker. Aldine introduces us to one of the most prolific urban farms in SLC: Wasatch Community Gardens’ Green Phoenix Farm, which empowers Utahns to grow their own organic, local food.
Jordan River Sweep
Running 50 miles in length and connecting Utah’s two largest bodies of water, the Jordan River offers an accessible slice of nature in an otherwise urbanized area of the Salt Lake Valley. We’ll meet a group of determined teenagers and local organizations who are working hard to clean up their beloved backyard urban waterway, and give back to both the west side community and mother nature herself.
Recollections
There’s something for everyone at an estate sale. But the items on display are more than just things — they’re a reflection of their owners, the department store of someone’s life. “I look at it like it’s all being recycled,” says Sue Molitoris, owner of All in the Family Estate Sales. “In the end you’re going to leave a house full of stuff and treasures to be moved onto someone else.”
