Generally considered as short, cold and grey, February is not known for offering a vibrant selection of seasonal produce. Well, we certainly weren’t the first to say it around this time of year, but thank heavens for greenhouses.
We wrote about Gotham Greens back in the fall when they were on the verge of opening a 20,000-square-foot solar powered greenhouse on the top of Whole Foods Brooklyn.
