Excerpt:
The vehicle, donated by First Bus, includes a greenhouse, a hydroponics system, kitchen and dining areas and a demonstration space.
Owner of The Pony, Josh Eggleton, said: “We want to create learning opportunities – but the main thing is to incite a sense of fun and purpose.”
“We’ve got loads of schools and grassroots organisations coming here, but it wasn’t lost on me that not everybody can get here.
“We wanted to take the growing and cooking on tour into Bristol and Somerset.
“Our globalised food system is disconnecting people from the land, this brings a sense of local food into areas that have lost that,” Mr Eggleton said.
He also plans to use the bus a a pop-up shop, offering food on a pay-what-you-feel basis, and aims to take it out at least three days a week.
The Pony’s kitchen grower, Tim Jones, said he had found it “rewarding” to educate children.
“They come here and get their hands dirty, some of them for the first time.
“We can bring this glorious Chew Valley into areas which haven’t had the opportunity to visit.
“There’s no mystery in supermarkets, but there is mystery in gardening, people suddenly realise beyond the supermarket that places like this exist,” he said.
