Agriculture Business

In their effort to build the world's first and largest commercial green rooftop farm, the founders of Brooklyn Grange learned a lot about building and sustaining a business while never losing sight of their mission: to serve their community by providing delicious organic food and changing the way people think about what they eat. But their story is about more than just farming. It serves as an inspirational and instructional guide for anyone looking to start a business that is successful while making a positive impact.

When the majority of people think about agriculture, they picture big farms spanning across large acreage. They imagine thousands of heads of cattle roaming across the landscape or they imagine fields filled with brown-gold heads of wheat waiting for massively expensive farm machinery to arrive for harvest. What you may not realize is that it's often possible to make more money on a small farm with just an acre or two, than on a massive farm with huge acreage.
