I recently found out about a New York City based company called BrightFarms that has a really cool, unique business model. They "finance, design, build and operate greenhouse farms at or near supermarkets." So basically, theyre creating hyper-local food sources for various supermarkets.
Theyre working with McCaffreys Supermarket in Yardley, PA, which is only about 20 minutes from my house. I drive by the greenhouses on the way to work every morning. This is pretty darn exciting to see something like this happening in my area. Im planning on moving to north New Jersey, and then to NYC in the next year or two, and Id love to try to work with BrightFarms. Theyre doing great things!
Heres a TED talk from Paul Lightfoot, BrightFarms CEO.

Can you imagine supermarkets across the country with greenhouses on the roofs? How cool would that be?
