Farmers Annie Novak and Ben Flanner oversee Eagle Street Rooftop Farm (formerly Rooftop Farms), a unique, 6,000-square-foot organic vegetable farm located on a warehouse roof in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. To begin this remarkable project, Goode Green, a green-roof installation company, transformed the roof using 200,000 pounds of soil and a wide variety of crops. Now, the crops they grow are sought by neighborhood restaurants, which donate their compost-ready waste back to Eagle Street Rooftop Farm.
