In 2021, Brooklyn Grange planted the first seeds on The Farm at Javits Center — a rooftop farm and orchard atop the expansion of the convention center in Manhattan. This launch is the culmination of a 3-year consulting and design project, where Brooklyn Grange collaborated with the Javits Center's sustainability team along with dozens of architects, engineers and other professionals to create this truly state-of-the-art urban farm.
