The Roof Crop (TRC) is a design-focused urban agriculture initiative dedicated to sustainability, ecological stewardship, and community engagement. Founded in 2013 to promote farmable green roof systems, TRC has grown into a full-service green roof growing media, landscape, and urban farming company with strong ties to the communities we serve.

We cultivate flowers, produce, and natural dyes in green roofs and urban green spaces, both residential and commercial. TRC designs and maintains productive landscapes that reconnect people with sustainable practices.

Suitable for amenity decks, patios, and large-scale developments, TRC maintenance plans and partnerships provide a more engaged experience than traditional landscaping contracts.

At our core, we are inspired by creating thoughtful systems and products that support both people and the environment.

FARM FRESH BLOOMS DELIVERED

Whether you choose a full twenty-five weeks of local blooms or five weeks of tulips in the spring, we have a beautiful assortment of blooms to brighten your home.

SPRING PLANTING UNDERWAY

Rain or shine, our crews are working hard to plant every crop for an abundant 2026 growing season. Soon we'll be harvesting specialty cut flowers by the bucket, filling our dehydrators with medicinal botanicals, and delivering fresh produce to Maxwells Trading.

The Roof crop industries

In 2025 we wrapped up a rooftop installation for Allium Events and Blue Plate, adding a bit more Green to Chicago's skyline.
