Brooklyn Grange is the largest rooftop farm in the country (and possibly the world), spanning some 40,000 square feet on top of a building in Queens. The farm produces over 40 herbs and vegetables. They also boast the highest flock of chickens in New York City!
I just love this and if I ever get the chance to build a house with a growing rooftop, I’m doing it!!! It would help with my land envy problem.

Have you seen this article about the woman who is supposed to serve 93 days of jail time for having a garden in her front yard?
If she’s getting 93 days, considering the way my front yard is growing, I’m a candidate for six months in the slammer. And then there are the chickens….gulp…. I could be in BIG trouble. :-)
Oak Park, Mich., resident Julie Bass faces misdemeanor charges for refusing to remove a garden from her front yard. (Huffington Post - Julie Bass)
There is a online petition available to sign if you are so inclined, but seriously, the only person who needs jail time is the official who decided to push this issue. …sigh….
