We built a gigantic windowfarm (13′ x13′) in the front window of Eyebeam. It is up only through the first week of August, so come see it!!

This system is similar to the reservoir system, but the suspension system is much more robust because the columns are 12 bottles tall and require extra support. We also put in a pretty fancy lighting system. Not to toot our own horns but it looks pretty beautiful. 

Ian putting final touches on the Eyebeam windowfarm. Foreground: brocolli rabe, edible violas, and spicy globe basil.

We are actually looking for a new home for this windowfarm. Do you know of any businesses with big, high-visibility windows that might want to rent this traffic-stopping edible windowfarm? The cherry tomatoes are ripe and juicy!

 There’s also a HUGE bright red Ring of Fire pepper that needs to go into some tacos ASAP! Que sabroso y que picante!! Ay!

 In general, we are looking for commissions to build and maintain high-visibility windowfarms like this in commercial windows to popularize the project and get the windowfarming craze going full force in NYC!!

Here is a sneak peak of the Window Farmer’s Preparation for the Benefit and Mixer at Eyebeam.

You’ll see that we have approximately 75 water bottles drying after being painted to cover the roots of the plants.

The installation will be approximately 15′ x 15′ and will hang in the large gallery window.

Enjoy!

The person in the image working on the water bottles is Julius — a pioneer!
