Noteworthy- Brooklyn Grange a Queens rooftop organic farm
How fresh is your produce? How About getting Your daily organic vegetables, picked fresh from Long Island City Queens! That’s right Brooklyn Grange is a Queens for profit community oriented rooftop garden! In their words
We grow vegetables in the city and sell them to local people and businesses. The goal is to improve access to very good food, to connect city people more closely to farms and food production, and to make urban farming a viable enterprise and livelihood… our goal is to put more farms on roofs throughout New York and beyond, and grow more food, train and employ more farmers, and improve overall quality of life in the city.
Take the Kids or Volunteers and interested visitors are also more than welcome on the farm, so to get your hands dirty and help out a farmer just write to brooklyngrangefarm[at]gmail.com, or call (917) 204-5644
Brooklyn Grange is a commercial farm, meaning they grow food and sell it. They want farming to become a thriving and viable industry in the urban setting, and they aim to promote city farmers by providing them with a living wage and reliable livelihood.
Yes we’re struck by the creativity and hard work… imaging getting that soil to the rooftop and literally building the farm! However the promise of fresh picked heirloom tomatoes was too enticing to ignore!
