Brody Farm
About
A quick hop off the BQE lands you a few minutes from Brody Farm. The 11231 block on Bush Street stays quiet compared to the rest of Brooklyn, but don’t let that fool you—fresh local harvests keep rolling in season after season. Beyond the usual vegetable bins and fruit crates, they supply bouquets of field flowers and bundles of herbs to nearby kitchens hungry for immediate flavor. Pop into 161 Bush St #175 for garlic scapes in July or sugar-snap peas in May; their field calendars are short and sweet. If you’re eyeing your own backyard, they’ll also drop off seedlings and soil amendments by arrangement. After you pick up what you need, local restaurants often swing by the same block for microgreens and lettuce heads the same morning. Give 718-555-0199 a ring when you’re mapping your route. Their map will pull you straight to the curb without circling the block; find the pin at the southwest edge of the neighborhood where the sidewalks empty into parking pockets.
