Lexington Co-Op & Edible Buffalo present
"How do you grow your own food in the big city if you ain't got no land?" Easy: do what these Brooklynites did and start a Truck Farm! True, you don't usually think 1986 Dodge Ram when you think "green vehicle", but this pickup with ripe rows of arugula, lettuce, broccoli, herbs, tomatoes and habaneros thriving right in its flatbed, is definitely an exception. To make matters even more awesome, "four-wheel farmer" Ian Cheney and his partner Curt Ellis of Wicked Delicate, have even been documenting their automofarm in a series of musical, lyric-accompanied, video shorts ("The recession was upon me, my health was slipping away. I decided what I needed, was more vegetables everyday.") resulting in both hilarity and a cult-like following as they spread love (and broccoli) around New York City.
