Higher Ground Farm BostonUrban rooftop farming is thriving in cities like Brooklyn and Montreal, but it hasn't quite caught on yet in Boston. That's about to change in a big way with the launch of Higher Ground Farm, a 40,000-square-foot farm on top of the Boston Design Center that's scheduled to break ground later this spring. When it's completed, the farm will be the second-largest open-air rooftop farm in the world (behind the sprawling Brooklyn Grange), and founders Courtney Hennessey and John Stoddard expect to be selling vegetables by the summer.1
