Riverpark Farm at Alexandria Center

Address: 430 E. 29th Street, Manhattan
Year Founded: 2011

Built in a few short months in 2011, the Riverpark Farm at Alexandria Center was created on a stalled construction site next to Tom Collicchio’s newest restaurant, Riverpark.

Working with ORE Architects, GrowNYC and Alexandria designed a temporary garden using plastic milk crates and 100 different types of vegetables, herbs, and flowers. Fresh produce from the farm is used by Riverpark.
