Brooklyn Grange

A rooftop event at the Brooklyn Grange.
"Brooklyn Grange is the leading rooftop farming and intensive green roofing business in the US. We operate the world’s largest rooftop soil farms, located on two roofs in New York City, and grow over 50,000 lbs of organically-cultivated produce per year."

People are changing their relation to food and where it comes from and Brooklyn Grange is a leading example of this change. Two rooftop gardens with two and a half acres provide over 50,000 pounds of organically-grown vegetables annually. They also run a apiary

Scoffers will say, how can 25 tons of food feed a city like New York or even just Brooklyn? I'd answer that 25 tons would probably feed more than those two buildings worth. Extrapolate.
