I have been fortunate to receive some great press and opportunities to talk about the need for us all to stop taking our food resources for granted and try to buy more local and in season foods and grow even a little of our own food.
Most recently PBS aired a show which talked about the Truckfarm along with some other amazing local food advocates. The people behind the show are all incredibly talented and the show itself is magical. I hope you will take a little time to watch not only the episode with the Truckfarm, but some, if not all, of the others. Amazing people doing incredible things in the name of good, local food practices.

I have also been lucky to share a few coffees with Madelaine Hatch at Granville communications who I worked with on the vertical food wall project for RayCam Community Centre. She is a great source of information and inspiration who has helped me keep my head on a few occasions. She has also advised me to put together a press kit, which I fully intend to do (when I have a spare moment or ten). Madaleine is also behind the food wall at RayCam which was the brainchild of Warren Te Brugg who is the founder of the charity My Arms Wide Open.
Below is some of the press received to date. If you are interested in learning more about the Truck Farm and my mission give me a shout.
