Urban Rooftop Farm
FarmRoof, in conjunction with Kamehameha Schools, is installing a 38,000 square foot USDA-certified organic farm on the rooftop of Auto Mart USA (formerly CompUSA). It is the first commercial urban rooftop farm in Hawai'i and FarmRoof's largest. The rooftop farm will supply the community, retailers and chefs with an assortment of delicious, healthy and nutrient-dense crops such as heirloom kale, arugula and mustard greens. The farm will grow in a proprietary ultra-lightweight soil infused with minerals, trace elements, nutrients and billions of microorganisms. The installation is part of landowner Kamehameha Schools' vision to redevelop Kaka'ako into a healthy and sustainable urban community.
