Adrian Grenier Heads For the Farm

Adrian Grenier and Peter Glatzer have announced the debut of Young Farmers, a documentary-style series that underscores farm-to-table values.

The series, produced by Grenier’s and Glater’s multi-media platform SHFT and distributed on teen-focused shopping hub Lockerz, follows 10 young farmers as they grow their own food as a part of a larger environmental movement of sustainability.

“Our mission at SHFT is to convey sustainable living through video, design, art and culture,” said Grenier.” And Young Farmers does just that in a very personal, accessible way.”

This is Lockerz latest original series since The Homes, which featured Gilmore Girls stars Keiko Agena and Sean Gunn. Other Lockerz originals include Kill Spin and Marcy.

“Lockerz continues to feature compelling original content that ties into issues that are important to our Gen Z members,” said Kathy Savitt, Founder and CEO of Lockerz. “We are proud to partner with powerful environmental advocates like Adrian Grenier and Peter Glatzer to bring Young Farmers to a global audience of millions.”
