6. Eagle Street Rooftop Farm

The Eagle Street Rooftop Farm is a 6,000 foot organic green roof vegetable farm located on a warehouse rooftop in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. During the growing season Eagle Street Rooftop Farm has an on-site market where patrons can directly purchase their freshly grown, organic produce. Sprawling across the rooftop of Broadway Studios where Master of None and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt are filmed is this amazing Eden which has been growing a diverse assortment of vegetables, fruit, rose and even chicken since 2009. Broadway Studios is itself an adaptive reuse of a building within the ExxonMobil plant, situated inside the Greenpoint Oil Spill Remediation area.

In addition to visiting hours on the last Sunday of every month from May to October, Eagle Street Rooftop Farm—which is eminently known as the first commercial green roof farm in the United States—also accepts apprenticeships and internships for urban farming aficionados.
