At the oldest operating ballpark, Fenway Park, a team is hard at gardening. Located above the front office of the Boston Red Sox, it covers 5,000 square feet of the rooftop section. This garden opened in 2015 and recycled milk crates to create raised planters. They cultivate a variety of produce including fall greens, lettuce, fingerling potatoes, heirloom carrots, and more. The harvested crops are transported directly to a restaurant and a concession stand within the ballpark, just 100 feet away. The chef believes he has the best job in the country, having access to fresh produce from a rooftop garden and the opportunity to look at their quality and perishability. Christopher Grallert, the President of Green City Growers, said this urban farm is indicative of the desire for locally grown fresh foods and interactions with farmers and distributors. He added that it was a seed to initiate a revolution in food transportation.
