Sunset Park Farm<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Certain conditions are required to create farms on the roofs. One of them and the most logical one is the availability of areas. Many buildings in Brooklyn were once industrial facilities. They were built without any architectural excesses. Their roofs are flat and large.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the largest rooftop farms is located in Sunset Park. Such an idea became a way to improve ecology, provide residents of large cities with fresh products without problems and bring profit and taxes for the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Brooklyn company, which started the business of distributing green roofs, provides services for the development of this type of business. They want to teach others how to create useful rooftop oases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The green roof in Sunset Park appeared in 2019. The rooftop offers views of New York Harbor, midtown Manhattan and Lady Liberty. The total area is 2700 square meters. It was equipped with glass sliding doors, a veranda and an open area. All this is surrounded by fragrant greenery and flower beds. This is an extraordinary place for ecological recreation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Brooklyn company was founded in 2010. In addition to its popularity in New York, it has become a leading green roofing firm in the US. Thus, it is spreading this eco-trend across the country. After all, there are enough megacities in the USA that need more greenery in addition to New York.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the largest farms is located on the roof of the Brooklyn Navy Yard. It appeared in 2012. The area of this farm is 1.5 acres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aesthetic effect<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The main purpose of green roofs is to make a profit by growing and selling fresh vegetables and impacting the environment. In addition to this, Brooklyn’s green roofs have become a place for elegant evenings and celebrations. They provide great areas for photo shoots with incredible views. For example, the rooftop farm at the Brooklyn Navy Yard overlooks the shipping docks, the East River and downtown Manhattan. Thus, the place became extremely valuable for aesthetes. Green roofs are a great option for ecological pastime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The architects created a juicy and charming interior with street lamps, green arches and paved paths between the garden beds. The owners provide the opportunity to rent the place, thereby receiving additional income for the development of other roofs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, some of them have juice bars, which make juices from their own fruits and vegetables. This makes their production waste-free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is it profitable?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The answer is yes, despite the fact that the creators of green roofs had to spend money on their aesthetic arrangement. The aesthetic appearance helped the business pay off faster. Being closer to nature and organizing holidays in an ecological style, has also become a certain trend. Quirkiness has long become an anti-trend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The eco-trend for green roofs has become not only a positive moment for ecology and a profitable business but also a new type of ecological recreation. The decision to develop this industry is beneficial from all points of view. In addition, it allows us to save old houses from wear and tear, although green roofs can be arranged even in new houses.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
