Filmmaker Ian Cheney planted a 1\/1000th-acre farm in the back of his 1986 Dodge pick-up-truck in the spring of 2009, after coming to New York City and lacking any other place of his own to grow food. Using green-roof materials, heirloom seeds, and a healthy dose of optimism and humor, Ian created a mobile community farm that yielded a wide range of vegetables and led to the discovery and exploration of other creative, quirky, community-based agriculture efforts all over the city.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><b style=\"font-size: large;\">Harvest Volunteers needed next week!<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small;\">The fields are alive, we could use a hand with harvesting and processing all our beautiful produce!\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva; color: #4da75d;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Come drop in any weekday between<\/span> <strong>9:00 AM &#8211; 12:00 PM.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>Join us and get your hands dirty at the farm!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small;\">For more information on our volunteer program, check our website&#8217;s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.xroadsfarmliny.com\/volunteering\" target=\"_blank\">volunteer section<\/a>\u00a0or email volunteer@nassaulandtrust.org.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: large;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/campaigns.softwhite.net\/Content\/Uploads\/4\/AUGUST%20volunteer.png\" alt=\"August Volunteer Dates \" width=\"400\" height=\"518\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/campaigns.softwhite.net\/Content\/Uploads\/4\/COME%20DROP%20IN2.png\" alt=\"Come drop in!\" width=\"400\" height=\"518\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h1>Mark your calendars!
