the statue of liberty looming in the distance this is the setting of new york's largest urban farm the idea behind the project is to deliver vegetables directly from the rooftop to the place this is 140000 square feet and it's our largest farm so far it's our 3rd farm that we've done in about 10 years. the farm goes $36.00 tons of vegetables every year the project is sold to restaurants and farmers' markets. there are no synthetic fertilizers in use here the soil is a mixture of compost and lightweight stone which makes it efficient up storing water. huge point of surface area across our city is the impermeable roof surfaces so when the water hits that it goes straight into the system so we can slow it down and absorb millions and millions of gallons on spaces
