Truck Farm Chicago is a mini-farm planted in the back of a pick-up truck. The biodiesel-powered farm-on-wheels is an edible exhibit used to engage youth in questions about food, health and the environment.
We conduct K-12th grade programming that includes basic ‘farm tour and tasting,’ school garden projects (including garden installations), in-class wellness and sustainability lessons and hands-on cooking classes.
Truck Farm Chicago is a volunteer-run project with help from partners and friends like We Farm America and The Kids’ Table. Our pilot season ended in November, 2011. Season two begins in April, 2012.
Truck Farm Chicago is a Green Sugar Press project, in collaboration with 501(c)(3) Seven Generations Ahead (and their Fresh-from-the-Farm curriculum). The Truck Farm concept originated with the Wicked Delicate crew in New York and the Truck Farm Fleet is nationwide.
