From Robert Whitcomb’s “Digital Diary,’’ in GoLocal24.com
Gotham Greens, in Providence, is the most exciting new business in the city for a long time. The company will grow about 10 million heads of leafy greens a year inside its 110,000-square-foot facility, now open. This gives our region a tad more food independence by letting crops be harvested even through our annual cold snap called “winter’’ and in what had been an industrial wasteland. There are other tracts in the city that could be converted to year-round food production.
That includes crops that can be grown in rooftop greenhouses. Then there’s the stuff to grow on open rooftops seasonally. Hit this link for more information.
