Editorial Reviews

Truck Farm tells the story of a new generation of quirky urban farmers. Using green roof technology and heirloom seeds, filmmaker Ian Cheney (KING CORN, THE CITY DARK) plants a vegetable garden on the only land he's got: his Granddad's old pickup. Once the mobile garden begins to sprout, viewers are trucked across New York to see the city's funkiest urban farms, and to find out if America's largest city can learn to feed itself. Blending serious exposition with serious silliness, Truck Farm entreats viewers to ponder the future of urban farming, and to consider whether sustainability needs a dose of whimsy to be truly sustainable. Featuring chef Dan Barber, nutritionist Marion Nestle, explorer Henry Hudson and a very lonely seagull. With musical narration by The Fishermen Three. Run time: 48 minutes.

This is a wonderful film. It makes you think about how easy it is to make a difference in your community and bring good produce to local tables. What I loved most about the film was its upbeat, whimsical approach to the subject through the musical accompaniment. Share this with your friends and family and I'd be surprised if it didn't move you to plant some seeds in your uncle's old pickup, or better yet, your backyard.

Had sought more info than entertainment but is mostly the latter. Better to borrow this one than to buy it.

So much technical information within a wonderfully, delightfully, positively, produced piece! So glad I purchased, rather than rented. Great Work!
