Gotham Greens
Have you tried the gorgeous butterhead or greenhouse crunch lettuce that we’ve been stocking at the coop lately? Or the super delish vegan pesto or green goddess dip? These awesome products come from Gotham Greens, an urban agriculture initiative that started out in a greenhouse on a rooftop in Greenpoint, right here in Brooklyn!
Gotham Greens has a truly inspiring story that fully complements our goals at the coop! The initiative began with a few intrepid folks rethinking the relationship between high quality food, environmental sustainability, and urban environments. Their unique solution? Repurposing rooftops to grow produce hydroponically! In this way, they contribute to the communities in which they’re based while also challenging the status quo and imagining new possibilities for food production, consumption, and all the variables in between. Their farming methods use minimal resources, their greenhouses are powered by solar and wind energy, and their products are distributed locally, further reducing their environmental impact. We’re excited to support them and get the word out about them – you can learn more about them on their website!
