We've seen what farming on a cement baseball field looks like. This is what farming on a Brooklyn rooftop looks like:
Imagine if every single rooftop in Manhattan looked like this one. Think of the bounty! The fresh air!
Think of the views from above... a green mosaic...
This hearty kale wouldn't look so monstrous if seen from an airplane...
...although it does look monstrous in real life.
I've never seen such happy chard!
With a view like this, who wouldn't be inspired?
I do not envy those sitting in cubicles across the river, even if they are makin' bank.
Perfect serenity:
All photos were taken at Rooftop Farms in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. Volunteers are welcome!
