New York City is a Farmer's Paradise! Just as Annie Novak, one of the masterminds behind Greenpoint's Rooftop Farms, a 6,000 square foot organic farm picture-esquely plopped on top of a warehouse overlooking Midtown Manhattan. Her operation--founded in partnership with Ben Flanner, a neophyte to farming, and Goode Green, a green-roofing specialist--currently produces produce for a host of Brooklyn gourmandizers, including Anella and Marlow and Sons. They even run a farm stand featuring fresh picked produce every Sunday! Come hear how this urban Agronomist tells us the unlikely story of how she did it--and learn how you can too!
