I found out last week that B.Good, one of my favorite Boston area food establishments, has done something that makes me love them even more. In addition to their delicious mango smoothies and baked sweet potato fries, they have installed an organic rooftop farm at their Brookline location! Yes, that’s right, an organic rooftop farm!
The farm was installed and maintained by a Somerville company called Green City Growers. This innovative company installs raised-bed organic farms in urban areas. They can use a space as small as 4 ft by 4 ft. They will either teach you how to care for your farm yourself, or they will come and tend it for you. It’s a great alternative to a CSA, and I’ve decided to look into it for my own backyard. I have a consult set up with Gabe next week and will keep you posted as I find out more!
