Labor Day became an official national holiday in 1894.  It’s a favorite holiday of ours at Rooftop Farm, as it marks the gentle bridge between seasons when our fruiting plants (tomatoes, cucumbers) begin to fade.  We farmers feel the same, making that last rewarding sprint-push towards the Fall.  What’s not to love about early September? The nights drop to 60*F, we can again plant radishes, and the monarchs float across the farm on their journey down the Northeast Atlantic flyway zone towards sunny Mexico. 

The Rooftop Farm is closed today for the Labor Day holiday. See you on Sunday, September 11th from 9am-4pm.
