Grounded in happiness

New York has a dirty little secret...

One of its rooftops in Brooklyn is actually an amazingly productive farms with views of the Manhattan skyline!! If only I was more motivated on Sunday mornings to go and volunteer! The one time I went was truly something breathtaking, a rooftop farm by the water was simply too good to believe. They're extremely hands-on with volunteers as well, I felt like I learned a lot about cucumbers in those 2 hours. There are several of these rooftop farms, but I found this one to be the most accessible for an upper west sider. I really need to plant something- like now.

Annie Novak, Co-founder of Eagle Street Rooftop farm, stated that she feels the most at peace when she's:

Outside with my hands in the earth, listening to the seagulls by the water. It takes a lot of concentration to do it right.

couldn't agree more.

Right Now: 76 degrees and rooftop sundays!

I really do love Sundays. On the agenda for today: My friend and I are going to do some rooftop farming at Eagle Street Rooftop Farm in Brooklyn. I'm kind of a hippie, baking my own granola and now farming. Next thing you know I'll be going into green fashion design and using recycled fabrics? Oh wait, I'm already doing that.

Ahem, we're also going to go shopping for some proper party clothes and then go scope out the scene at another rooftop featured below called Ravel. Rooftop sundays!




Another current and definitely continuing future obsession - iced coffeeeeee!! It just makes me feel less like a zombie on a day to day basis. I'm really looking forward to trying this Ice Coffee recipe at home from Pioneer Woman. If you haven't checked the Pionner Woman out yet, she's kind of the best thing on the internet. So, do it already.
