I live in Brooklyn. I have regular access to Gotham Greens through the Park Slope Food Coop. I am amazed with how fresh and hearty and amazing flavor of your greens. So thankful.

Roof top farming is a great idea. I hope this becomes a popular and profitable trend.

I love it! Show me more. Details, people, details. How do you keep it so neat, and organized? How do you get to the middle rows? How do you release predator insects? Do you compost? Are you making money? Does the freshness of the produce impact it's nutritional value?

That is amazing. It should grow, why not? No reason for food to travel all over the place.
