Brooklyn Grange is a commercial urban farm, covering 65,000 square feet (about an acre and a half) of the roof of Building 3. They have another rooftop farm in Long Island City. The farm grows a variety of crops - over 50,000 lbs of produce a year - which are are sold at greenmarkets, to restaurants, and through a CSA. There is even an apiary and a chicken coop!
You can take tours and hold events there. There's great views of the Navy Yard and Brooklyn.
Thanks to Brooklyn Grange Office Manager Stephanie Diaz for letting me hang out for awhile.
