The Grange also operates New York City's largest apiary, with over 40 naturally managed beehives, which yields approximately 1,500 pounds (680 kg) of honey annually. The Grange was co-founded in April 2010 by Ben Flanner (President), Anastasia Plakias (Vice President), and Gwen Schantz (COO). The group took out loans, contributed their own savings, and found initial investors to fund the project. The Brooklyn Navy Yard farm was financed in part by a US$592,730 grant from the NYCDEP's Green Infrastructure Grant Program. Brooklyn Grange provides urban farming, green roof consulting, and installation services to clients worldwide as well as partner with numerous non-profit organizations throughout New York. (en) |
