Method Products, a San Franciso based maker of cleaning supplies, is partnering with Gotham Greens to create the world's largest rooftop greenhouse.
Method is opening its industry's first LEED-certified plant in Chicago and they currently have plans to incorporate the world's largest rooftop greenhouse. Run by Gotham Greens, the greenhouse's produce will be supplied to the surrounding community. Gotham says that it will help provide produce in Chicago's south side food desert.
According to Method's website, the facility is scheduled to open in the spring of 2015. This will be Gotham's first rooftop greenhouse located outside of New York City. The produce will be sold through grocery stores, local farmer's markets and through various community organizations.
