Indira Naidoo’s Roof Top Farm Tour of New York City (6 days/5 nights, September 17th 2013 to September 22nd 2013)
Been to New York a few times? Think you’ve seen it all? Chances are you haven’t seen this… Jump on board for INDIRA NAIDOO’s exclusive expert tour of the ROOF TOP FARMS of NEW YORK CITY. Following on from the phenomenal success of her best-selling book ‘The Edible Balcony’, Indira wants to show you how New Yorkers are growing food in their city. High above the streets of the historic borough of Brooklyn are three of the world’s largest ‘sky farms’. Over 6 days, as part of an intimate tour group of 20, you’ll explore how these inspiring commercial enterprises are turning concrete into crops. As well as growing acres of fruit and vegetables, these roof top farms have chook houses and bee hives producing fresh eggs and honey for local residents. You’ll get a chance to get your hands dirty, collect some eggs or filter some honey. After each tour you’ll feast on the fresh seasonal farm produce during specially-hosted lunches at local award-winning restaurants. You’ll enjoy the region’s organic wines matched to your meal by our tour group sommelier. You’ll stay in Brooklyn at the stylish Wythe Hotel - one of New York’s hottest new boutique accommodations. We’ll also squeeze in visits to New York’s famous Highline and the Union Square markets. And your evenings will be free to explore Brooklyn’s hip nightlife, do some shopping or catch a Broadway show. This is a trip for foodies, gardeners or those who just want to live a richer more sustainable life in the city. So book now for a once-in-a-lifetime chance to experience a different side of New York in the company of one of Australia’s most-loved broadcasters. It will be the most fun you’ve ever had on a roof. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------TOUR DATES:
