This working farm on the roof of the Brooklyn Navy Yard is trying to achieve economies of scale and turn a profit. The farm, which employs 5, has sold over 40,000lbs of vegetables to restaurants, CSA members and directly to the public via farmstands. \u00a0The farm has recently expanded to include egg-laying hens and bees.
