Traditionally, farmers take it easy in the winter. But urban farmer Ben Flanner has never been so busy. He is trying to get more New York rooftops ready to grow new shingles of Sun Gold tomatoes, salad greens, and carrots before the next season begins.
"We want to see a lot more roofs across the city covered with farms and growing healthy vegetables," said Flanner, head farmer at Brooklyn Grange, New York's biggest rooftop farm located (despite its name) in Long Island City, Queens.
