These two intrepid fellows are out to prove that good food can be grown almost anywhere. This creative garden suggests that growing at least some food is not so much a matter of space and opportunity as it is a question of skill and imagination.

Their first tomato will be about $800. If they do this for about twenty years with the same truck they may get the cost down a little. They would have been better off digging up a truck-bed plot behind a tenement building and buying some 2X12s and some dirt. The first tomato would only be about $50.
This is hilarious. Wouldn’t it be better if you just traded the truck for a small car? I mean, obviously they aren’t using it for anything if they can grow plants in the bed!
These fellows aren’t farmers, they’re filmmakers, and this so-called truck farm is a little “street” theater for their latest documentary.
I heartily recommend their 2007 film, “King Corn” to all FrontPorchers. Aired on PBS, available on Netflix.
I aint never et nuthin off them pantomimin Statue of Liberties over there at Battery Park but I do know, theater or not, some folks ate fresh produce off this here truck and that, gentlemen, is about as real as it gets.
Huzzah to the Independent Film Community of Brooklyn New Yawk.
