City Bees and Peas

Urban farming just got smarter. City Bees and Peas brings commercial-scale pollinator support and microgreens to rooftops and back lots across the city. Their model skips the middleman: local restaurants and grocers contract for weekly harvests of sunflower shoots, pea tendrils, and honey from on-site hives, cutting food miles without sacrificing flavor. You’ll find the team at 300 Mercer St New York, NY 10003, where they also host workshops on integrated pest management and compost tea brewing—tools any balcony gardener can use.

Greenhouse tech meets Gotham grit. The company’s apiary leases and modular grow racks let landlords monetize underused space while tenants enjoy fresher basil and a lower carbon footprint.
