FOOD CURATED: The Brooklyn Grange: NYC's Newest & Biggest Rooftop Farm
Loading...
Uploaded by foodcurated on Jul 12, 2010
It's summer harvest season up on NYC's newest and biggest rooftop farm!
If you haven't been, and I know most of you haven't, you need to see The Brooklyn Grange. I visited a few days ago to see what Farmer Ben Flanner was growing for the summer, and I was quite impressed with the progress he's made in such a short amount of time. His 40,000 square foot farm (just under an acre) was lush with greens, cabbage, tomato plants, corn crops, carrots, swiss chard, various herbs and root vegetables. I seriously didn't think the farm would look as finished or as polished as it did when I set foot, especially since they only began planting in late May. But, it did. The plants looked happy and tasted great, further proving the case for more NYC rooftop farms. Watch the video and see for yourself. Plants like rooftops...or it seems that way to me!

pretty cool, did anything special have to be done to the roof to protect it?
Is there any danger of the roof collapsing?
