LH 131: Farming The Rooftops of New York City
This podcast focuses a lot on working with the space you have to grow your garden. Whether that's a backyard, a farmstead, or simply container gardening - where there is a will there is a way to a farm fresh lifestyle.
This episode is about a very creative and inspiring use of space - right in the middle of New York City (and it's not Central Park).
Host Theresa Loe invited Anastasia Plakias to talk about an actual farm that is acres large on top of buildings in New York City. She shares how this project is changing the way city folk think about agriculture and organic farming in a way that no one was expecting.
You will learn: Why build a farm on top of NYC Buildings How this farm produces over 50K pounds of veggies/year The challenges of building a 2 acre farm over the city The motivations behind the mission What turned out to be their biggest win in all this How they added rooftop chickens and bees to the project What they hope the community gains from their effortsAs always, you can find more links and info at www.LivingHomegrown.com/131 including a full transcript of the show.
