Brooklyn Grange Field Trip

Today we went to the Brooklyn Grange Farm and it was a nice day. When we got there our tour guide took us up to the roof and showed us around. There were a lot of vegetables. For example, carrots, broccoli, cabbage, onions, pepper, raddish, tomatoes, cucumber, eggplant etc. There was also bees and chickens. Some of us helped her feed the chickens and she informed us that the chickens lay six eggs every week. She allowed us the chance to try vegetables such as cucumbers and tomatoes. At the end of the day we took a group picture. It was a beautiful experience.- Chef Akosua  

This was my first time on a roof top farm. The experience was amazing and the farm was beautiful, calm and refreshing. I got the chance to taste a black cherry tomato and it tasted wonderful; nothing like locally grown food. I would definitely encourage more rooftop farms in the city because the taste and experience is nothing like I've ever seen before!- Chef Ayerine
