A new restaurant will move New Yorkers one step closer to making the world outside the city truly unnecessary.
At the Homegrown Kitchen, which will open in June, all the vegetables and herbs used in the kitchen will be grown upstairs — in an enormous, rooftop farm.
Anne Apparu, 32, the caterer behind the almost-self-sufficient eatery at 169 Bowery, is currently growing oranges, apples and purple asparagus.
“There’s going to be lots of herbs, beans and produce. We will be very varied and have everything we want,” she said.
With two entire rooftops, Apparu hopes to turn the setting into a real, working farm — animals and all.
“I may have a few chickens and a baby goat,” she said.
She plans to grow produce year-round.
