Brooklyn residents looking for farm fresh vegetables need look no further than their own borough, with Farm on Kent located on the site of the former Domino Sugar Factory in Williamsburg. NY1's Roger Clark filed the following report.

In the shadow of the Williamsburg Bridge is a break from the nonstop development here. As the neighborhood grows, so does fresh produce.

"We've got lettuce, we've got cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, heirloom eggplants, okra, herbs, flowers," said Ryan Watson, co-founder of the North Brooklyn Farms. "We kind of grow a little bit of everything here."

They call it the Farm on Kent, and it's on the site of the old Domino Sugar Refinery. For two years, it had been on a plot across the street with the permission of the developers, who are building a $1.5 billion mixed-use complex. In May, construction moved them to a site on the waterfront, where they will be for three years or until work on a planned park begins.

Everyone seems to like the arrangement.

"The lack of access to greenspace and this sort of urban oasis feeling that people experience when they come into this space is something that is truly lacking in a lot of New Yorkers' lives, and this provides them an outlet for that," Watson said.

Neighbors can pick fruits and vegetables on their own for purchase. They can also buy a magic box, a meal featuring items harvested here and more. There are Sunday farm-to-table dinners, and a new Wednesday night series is in the works.

"The thing about summer produce is, it's really wonderful. And so, you know, a summer tomato is so beautiful, it kind of doesn't even need that much extra. So we do really nice dinners and we use what we have," said Emma Gonzalez, a farm chef and volunteer.

Even though North Brooklyn Farms is scheduled to be out of this space in three years, it's really only the beginning. They are hoping to do similar projects all over town.

And if you are thinking, 'Hmm, do I really want to eat food harvested from an old industrial site?', the crops are grown in fresh soil, which rests on a layer of crushed stone and fabric and is tested for contaminants.

"For us, making sure that our produce is healthy and fresh, that is the kind of prinicpal concern for us," Watson said.
