A group of young farmers have begun a commercial farm seven stories up atop an office building in Queens, New York. They plan to sell a wide variety of veggies to local restaurants, building residents, and the surrounding community.
It took a crane, a million pounds of soil, and lots of people power, but a group of young farmers called the Brooklyn Grange have opened a commercial farm on top of an office building in Queens, New York. Their goal is to provide local, healthy food to city residents and restaurants and to prove that urban farming is a viable enterprise. Stephanie Hughes reports.
