WHAT WE DO
Founded in 2010, Brooklyn Grange is the leading rooftop farming and intensive green roofing business in the US. Brooklyn Grange operates the world’s largest rooftop soil farms, located on three roofs in New York City. We work to make our city more sustainable by designing, building and maintaining urban green spaces for private residences, organizations, and businesses. And, we host about 7,000 people on our farms every season through events and educational programming.
wE GROW VEGETABLES ON OUR ROOFTOP FARMS
Our rooftops total 5.6 acres with 135,000 square feet of cultivated area producing over 100,000 lbs of organically-grown produce per year. We sell our produce at markets, through retailers and through our CSA program. Through our Equitable Distribution Program, we work with community based organizations to send 30% of our produce to community members with limited means at no cost.
WE DESIGN, BUILD, & OPERATE
