My favorite King Corn filmmakers are at it again, out to show the world – or at least Brooklyn – that fresh, local food can be grown in the most unlikely places.
Their vehicle of choice is, well, an actual vehicle.
Ian Cheney and Curt Ellis, the guys who brought us the corn-free challenge and inspired my corn diary, have taken an ’86 Dodge pickup and loaded its flatbed full of rich soil and heirloom veggies.
My favorite complaint from the filmmakers? Some neighborhood kid keeps eating up their basil.
Best part of this innovative urban agriculture pursuit? It’s community supported agriculture.
The two have attracted 20 people to give them $20 to receive fresh veggies at each harvest.
Awesome.
Can’t wait to see the documentary out of their latest experiment.
