Amidst the industrial terrain of Greenpoint, Brooklyn sits the magical Eagle Street Rooftop farm – one of the boroughs unique plots and part of the Community Supported Agriculture scheme bringing grower and eater closer together. Up on the roof, this haven of flowering greens, claret berries and newly arrived chickens, forms an amazing juxtaposition with the towering backdrop across the water. Visitors discuss kale and soil make-up while the people in tall buildings can squint and wonder at this green strip, just a few stories up but a world away from the urban sprawl.
