Farming From A Truck

Rev up that engine, throw the truck into gear and be careful not to shake the tomatoes off the vine. Ian Cheney and Curt Ellis, the filmmakers behind the documentary King Corn have redefined the term truck farming. They've planted rows of vegetables in the back of a Dodge pickup in New York City to show that food can be grown just about anywhere.

It’s community-supported agriculture on wheels, bringing fresh veggies to the masses for just $20 a share. Living on Earth's Jessica Ilyse Smith took a spin in the truck and met some hungry people who pick their salad off the back of a flat-bed rig.
