Excerpt from Urban Harvest STL
FOOD ROOF Farm, the first rooftop farm in St. Louis, Missouri, USA, is a model for urban agriculture, sustainable building, stormwater management and community development. Not your typical farm, Urban Harvest STL led the collaboration of architects, landscape architects, green roof experts, horticulturalists, structural engineers, agronomists and urban farmers to create this internationally recognized project.
This exciting 8,500 square foot rooftop is a dynamic example of a green infrastructure, and so much more. For example, the FOOD ROOF farm design is proven to capture up to 17,000 gallons of stormwater per storm event resulting in the reduction and mitigation of stormwater runoff issues in downtown St. Louis.
The farm was also designed to maximize food production while providing a unique community green space and education center, and currently grows over 200 varieties of edible plants. Other design elements include a shaded and multi-functional community hub space, state of the art greenhouse, chicken house (with a green roof), living wall, and hydroponic towers integrated into a beautiful green space for the enjoyment of the surrounding urban community.
