Brooklyn Grange begins supplying rooftop produce, with its flagship farm on the Standard Motor Products building
Despite its name, Brooklyn Grange runs its flagship farm in Queens, where an acre of crops (43,000 square feet) grows atop the Standard Motor Products building. The company has been supplying New York with produce grown above street level since 2010. The farm uses organic growing methods without certification and sells through restaurants, a CSA and farmstands, and the roof opens to visitors on Saturdays from May through October.
