About this Event
Did you know that the world’s largest soil rooftop farm is located in Brooklyn? Once you ascend eleven stories up a building in the historic Brooklyn Navy Yard complex, you'll be greeted by a lush farm that's growing a wide variety of fruits, vegetables, and everything in between. It's time to uncover one of New York's most interesting green spaces like never before.
Join New York Adventure Club for a private sunset tour at Brooklyn Grange, the world’s largest rooftop soil farm and domestic leader in the intensive green roofing business, growing over 100,000 pounds of organically-cultivated produce per year.
Led by a Brooklyn Grange staff member, our private trip through this state-of-the-art 1.5-acre rooftop farm will include:
- The history and story behind Brooklyn Grange
- A discussion around daily operations and farming methods, from community programming to the environmental benefits of farming in the city
- A curated walkthrough of the world’s largest rooftop farm, which includes rows of lush produce and flowers, greenhouses, and even chickens!
- Sweeping views of the NYC skyline
