ABOUT BROOKLYN GRANGE
Founded in 2010, Brooklyn Grange is the leading rooftop farming and intensive green roofing business in the US, operating the world’s largest rooftop soil farms, located in New York City. Brooklyn Grange promotes sustainable urban living by building green spaces, hosting educational programming and events, and widening access to locally grown produce in New York City communities.
Brooklyn Grange’s purpose is to restore the connection between people and the natural world. We create meaningful livelihood opportunities and steward green spaces in the built environment to foster more livable and climate-adapted cities.
Our rooftop farms in Brooklyn span almost 5 acres and produce over 80,000 lbs of organically-grown vegetables per year. We sell our produce at farmers markets and through our sliding scale CSA program. Through our Equitable Distribution Program, nearly 60% of our annual yields are distributed to New Yorkers at no or low cost.

DESIGNING, BUILDING, AND MAINTAINING GREEN SPACES IN NEW YORK CITY
From commercial green roofs to rooftop farms and residential spaces to green walls, we design, build, and maintain urban greenscapes that are thoughtful, engaging, and innovative. Our clients range from private homes to commercial properties to low-income housing facilities.
HOSTING PUBLIC PROGRAMS & PRIVATE EVENTS
Every year, over 12,000 visitors come up to our farms. We host guests through our private events including weddings, dinners, corporate team retreats, and media launches. To engage the public in sustainable living and local ecology, we offer sliding-scale tickets to a number of events and invite guests to visit us at our open houses.
