From Keith. Worth a visit?
Launched by GoodeGreen and run by farmers Ben Flanner and Annie Novack,the 6,000-square-foot Eagle Street Rooftop Farm atop a former bagel factory in Greenpoint just began yielding its first crops: tomatoes, spring onions,and salad greens. Volunteers and droppers-by can purchase produce or attend gardening workshops most Sundays and Mondays, and the roof has also begun supplying local restaurants like Marlow & Sons with spring mixes for a "rooftop salad." Expect regular "farm stand" hours soon, along with workshops on pickling and green roof issues. Get in touch directly for questions and to lend a hand, at rooftopfarmer@gmail.com.
