Now comes with Produce

An enterprising filmmaker — Ian Cheney — has transformed the bed of his Dodge Ram pickup into a fully functioning farm, according to PSFK, a trends research company. Cheney “adapted elements of green roofing technology – adding drainage, a water-absorbent bottom layer and lightweight soil – enabling him to plant a crop of heirloom vegetables and still be able to drive.”

“Cheney has installed a solar-powered timelapse camera onto the truck’s roof that captures real time footage of the progress that will later be edited into a short film.”

For a $20 subscription you can buy a copy of the finished DVD, get an invitation to the Summer Picnic and eat his local produce. You can also find the Truck Farm on Twitter.
