Farming the museum.

Windowfarms are vertical indoor food gardens designed for city living. 

Originally hacked together from water bottles and plumbing supplies, creator Britta Riley launched two successive Kickstarter projects that eventually transformed her little idea into a thriving social enterprise and successful business. 

Now her new Windowfarms are installed in a giant array at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City, part of a year-long exhibition called “Our Global Kitchen: Food, Culture, Nature.”
