Gotham Greens

SUCH good greens and dressings! I love their pesto and green goddess dressing. Always go out of my way to get their products - the whole farm is a sight to see as well.

The best basil I have ever eaten outside of Rome, Italy. Fresh. Green. Fragrant. Clean. Delicious. Thank you, Gotham Greens. (photo is a salmon steak I made yesterday with Gotham Greens basil atop)

Best lettuce ever and grown right in NYC. I've tried many varieties and have never been disappointed.

I WILL NEVER EAT ANY OTHER SALAD BUT GOTHAM GREENS, ANYTHING FROM BROOKLYN IS GOOD AND DELICIOUS, I’M FROM BRROKLYN!!

They have a very good artisan bread and yesss bostom lettuce

Loved the butterhead lettuce! I wish I could have gone on a tour.

Best pesto and lettuce among brooklyn

Keeps coming up on Google maps and I've never been here.

The WORST lettuce and what is WORSE the grocery store gets the rap. WILTED, GROSS, SLIMY, BROWN/BLACK lettuce at premium prices. I would pay good money to see the owner(s) make a salad with the for dinner GUESTS and see the expression on the guests faces "What the heck, is this ? You actually SELL this in grocery stores, is that LEGAL"? Or maybe serve to spouse and children? Those children would NEVER eat lettuce EVER AGAIN. And why do you not eat lettuce? My family produces lettuce and it is NASTY.

Company is illegally withholding my checks until a much later date then legally required after three years of service. They currently have a pending inquiry against them with the US department of labor and hourly wages. And lord knows I'm not the only one. Plus after working in this establishment for years and helping them pass audits, I can personally attest to the fact that I would rather eat anything else.

Recipe: Sustainably farmed or wild salmon 1/2 cup of bread crumbs 1/2 cup of shredded Parmesan 2 Tablespoons of Gotham Green's Pesto Steps: Pre-heat oven to 325 degrees Place salmon on EVOO greased pan Spoon 2 tablespoons of Gotham Green's Pesto onto the salmon Mix your Parmesan & breadcrumbs into a mixture & gently press onto the salmon Bake salmon in the oven for 12-15 minutes until medium rare Broil on high for 1 minute. You want to watch this carefully so the top is perfectly brown Story: Salmon is a staple in our home & one of my favorite foods. When curating this recipe, I wanted to keep the ingredients list down to a minimum for a quick & easy week night dinner OR an easily scalable entree for a dinner party. They key here is Gotham Green's Pesto - Gotham Greens is a sustainable & global pioneer of of urban agriculture. They are based in NYC & produce local herbs & veggies year round in their greenhouse. What I love the most about Gotham Greens is that compared to conventional farms, Gotham Greens uses 95% less water and 97% less land than most farmers. Because they use less space to grow, they are protecting biodiversity of the our ecosystem & leave no negative impact on precious soil. Additionally, their ability to leverage 95% less water through hydroponics (the most water-efficient form of agriculture) means that they have zero runoff. Gotham Greens mission is to cultivate fresh ingredients & reimagine how fresh, local food is grown. A sustainable mission I support, but they also yield a tasty product.

Have surely tried "other" packed greens but this brand caught my eye with the promise of stays fresh longer... and it did. Found the romaine at Whole Foods and first thing I noticed is how nicely the leaves were placed in the package-- like they were resting on a cloud and packed by hands that care. For someone like me, looking for a convenient, not wasteful and not crazy priced way to enjoy fresh greens, this is it. Gotham Greens, you got me. Thanks. FYI: Hooked on the Romaine! Now it's time to branch out. I love it.

I attended a free Saturday morning tour (booked via Eventbrite) of Gotham Greens. Although we could not enter the greenhouse (to keep the environment sterile) we did have a good view of the crops and hydroponic system from the observation deck. The tour guide did a great job of explaining the greenhouse set up and the history of the company. It was interesting to learn that washing the greens from here was not necessary since no dirt is used in the growing process and the environment is controlled. We got to taste some of the greens and pesto made from the basil grown there. One of the greens was a new romaine lettuce variety that they didn't release yet. Butter lettuce and a iceberg lettuce were also available for tasting. All tasted fresh and overall seemed slightly more delicate than greens from elsewhere. We tried classic pesto, spicy pesto and vegan pesto (classic minus the cheese). I liked the spicy one the most as I am a fan of spicy foods. You taste the spiciness toward the end and the pesto in the beginning. The vegan pesto is lighter and the olive oil flavors are more prevalent in there compared to the classic pesto making it a good choice for a salad dressing. At the end of the tour we got to take home two clamshells of greens and some seedlings that were in the hydroponic starting material, but could be planted into dirt later on. It's located on the roof of the Whole Foods in Gowanus, although they are a separate company from Whole Foods. It's cool that the greens you buy downstairs was grown right above. Super local!

I ordered Gotham Greens pesto, it got delivered, and I promptly forgot about it in my overloaded pandemic-stockpiled fridge. When I finally ran across it again, I didn't know if it was still good. But I couldn't find a "best by" date! I wrote to the company with all the info I could add from the packaging, and they tracked down the "best by" date and sent it to me. A wonderful rep named Willa emailed back and forth with me to get the info she needed to look into my small problem. I am extremely grateful, and impressed, and look forward to trying more and more products from this great company.

So I went to Wholefoods in Schererville, IN and I usually buy their brand of lettuce. I went to go pick up my usual container from the shelf, and then this guy James walked up to me and told me a few things about Gotham Greens. I could tell he was super passionate about it and i could tell that he wasn't trying to sell me their product, but to explain the sustainable and passionate company that they are. He had so much excitement in telling me about the company that I had to buy some. I got home and I was super satisfied about the favor of the "butterhead" lettuce. I will continue to buy gotham butter lettuce in the future because of the short but sweet experience I've had with one of the their workers.
