OrganicNation.tv Checks Out Rooftop Farming in Chicago

The team at OrganicNation.tv, who are taking a short break from traveling the nation to explore America’s sustainable food landscape, stopped by Chicago restaurant Uncommon Ground to check out the first certified organic rooftop farm in the nation.

Check it out as Dorothee Royal-Hedinger tours the roof, samples honey from the restaurant’s rooftop bee colony and learns more about the benefits of local produce and the challenges that rooftop farming can pose.
