Times Gets It


Bright, bright Melissa Feldman writes about Urban Ag. in the April 11 NY Times Mag.

Her piece Growth Spurt quotes BrightFarm's Benjamin Linsley,

“The rooftop business is not a passing trend but the beginning of a new approach to food production.”

Greenpoint Gotham Greens


Our man in Havana ( actually a knowledgeable source at Greenpoint Manufacturing and Design Center ) tells us that Gotham Greens will be building a third of an acre hydroponic rooftop greenhouse with the design assistance of BrightFarm Systems, a NYC Building Integrated Agriculture (BIA) design firm.

The footprint is a nearly square 125' by 128' not counting the photovoltaic PV array and water supply pumping and storage cistern.

It is to be located on the roof of 1205 Manhattan Ave 77 Commercial Street in Greenpoint.
