Oh boy! Have you ever wondered how to grow your own veggies even if you don't own a yard? A few years ago,
Ian Cheney moved to
New York, shortly after he realized how difficult it was to have a place to grow fresh food, so he came up with a genius idea of planting
a mini garden in his own old Dodge. Since then Ian created a
Truck Farm movement where he teaches people that growing their own food can be pain-free, fun and super rewarding as long as they're open to it. The awesome thing about the truck farm is that it doesn’t require a rooftop or a land. It just needs sunshine and water. Isn’t that brilliant? Wouldn’t you love to have a little veggie patch? xo
P.S: Since spring 2011 the project grew to 25 trucks across the
United States. Also Ian and his team made a short film about urban agriculture. You can check it
out here.

Ohh me too, Grace!
Ok, at first I thought this was awesome... but I feel like finding a place to PARK the truck in NYC would be harder than just starting a container garden on the fire escape or something. :-P
Giggle...good point, Stephanie but I think he has his own little parking spot next to his apartment building or something.
This is funny. A farm on wheels in the city;-)
thats a great idea although finding parking in NY can be pretty darn tough
I want a truck like that too!
Love, Amy
Brilliant!
