Operated by Green City Growers, Fenway Farms is a roughly 5,000-square-foot rooftop garden area tucked up behind the third baseline at legendary Fenway Park, home to the Boston Red Sox.

Though home to the Boston Red Sox, Fenway Park is known for being green. It’s hard not to associate the two, considering the “Green Monster,” the stadium’s massive outfield wall that has towered over the field since it opened in 1912. The ballpark and its famed wall are painted in a unique shade of green that was even offered to the public by US paint company Benjamin Moore. But perhaps surprising to most is another green aspect of the iconic baseball venue.

There are three main growing seasons , and offerings on the menu for the ballpark restaurants, luxury boxes and concession stands adapt as the year goes on. “A lot of the product that we use from the farm, we keep it simple,” Abell says. “We kind of leave it on its own and don’t manipulate it too much … we just let it shine for what it is.” Over the years, Fenway Farms has experienced some “growing pains,” Abell adds, mainly around quantity.
