Jessie Banhazl of Green City Growers is on Growing Business, talking about urban farming, with Aaron Niederhelman and Lindsay Poole. Green City Growers is a framing initiative program, focusing on educating the public and helping to bring farming into urban areas.

Green City Growers is very active in the farming industry. They began in 2008 and now have farms on the rooftops of over 120 buildings in the greater Boston area. They install and help maintain rooftop farms both personal residences and businesses. They recently partnered with Be Good restaurant.

Jessie is excited about the future of Green City Growers. As a Mass Challenge finalist, they are now focused on having gardens on commercial and larger scale buildings. The bigger the building the more space to grow and therefore the more food. This is an exciting time for Jessie and Green City Growers and we are excited to watch them grow.
