Who founded Brooklyn Grange and when?
It was founded in 2010 by Ben Flanner together with co-founders Gwen Schantz and Anastasia Cole Plakias. Flanner had previously co-founded the earlier Eagle Street Rooftop Farm in Greenpoint, Brooklyn.
Where does Brooklyn Grange's produce go, and what else do they do?
Vegetables and herbs are sold through CSA shares, farm stands, and to New York City restaurants. Beyond farming, they run one of the city's notable commercial composting operations for food waste and maintain beehives, all of which supports their environmental mission.
