White House Recognizes Boston Medical Center Rooftop Farm
This CBS Boston highlight features the rooftop RAMM farm atop Boston Medical Center, which was recognized by the White House in 2022 as a model for how other medical centers can provide their patients with green views and fresh, locally-grown produce. The BMC farm, which was designed and installed by Recover, continues to provide over 5,000 pounds of produce to the hospital per year.
ABC Massachusetts Earth Day Webinar
This special Earth Day webinar was the first installment of the new Lunch Break webinar series from ABC Massachusetts, which is an extension of the ABC & GCI Coffee Break Podcast. Mark Winterer, Recover’s co-founder and owner, speaks about what Recover Green Roofs is doing to make a more sustainable environment not only in the Greater Boston area, but across the country.
Boston Medical Center Rooftop Farm
Recover designed the BMC rooftop farm to provide maximum growth potential for the size and scale of the roof and installed the system on Earth Day 2017. The farm now provides over 5,000 lbs. of produce a year for BMC’s Preventative Food Pantry as well as other Nourishing Our Community programs. Check out this video to learn more about the farm!
