American Grown Field to Vase Dinner~ Brooklyn, NY.

Brookyn Grange's Navy Yard Farm

With two rooftop vegetable farms totaling 2.5 acres and producing over 50,000 pounds of organically-grown vegetables each year, the Brooklyn Grange is a commercial urban farm.

The Grange sells its produce directly to the community from several weekly farm stands, as well as to several local restaurants and retail stores. It also supplies a 40-member CSA program from Mid-May through October and operates an apiary with over 30 naturally-managed honey bee hives located on roofs throughout NYC.

The Field to Vase Dinner Tour celebrates the Brooklyn Grange mission, which includes this philosophy:

"We want farming to become a thriving and viable industry in cities, and we believe that by practicing urban agriculture as a fiscally sustainable business, we can prove that it is worthy of investment."

And YES, they have flowers!!!

Flowers grow high up on this roof, as well. The Grange's flower CSA includes a loosely-arranged, seasonal bouquet of 20-30 stems each week, wrapped in paper. The flowers are organically grown and freshly cut the day of pickup, ensuring days and days of freshness for the lucky recipients.

As you take your seat at the table, you'll be surrounded by the hyper local food and flowers grown at the Brooklyn Grange.
