Truck Farm

Where: Green|Spaces, 63 East Main Street

What:TRUCK FARM is a whimsical 50-minute film about urban agriculture and a new generation of American farmers. Using green roof technology and heirloom seeds, filmmaker Ian Cheney planted a vegetable garden on the only piece of land he had: 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.

A TRUCK FARM from Ian Cheney's fleet will be on site for tours!
