We are more than just a t-shirt company! 

We're farmers, too. Well, kind of. 

At Jūpmode, we take gardening very seriously. Especially this time of year when we have lots of fresh veggies grown on our rooftop garden.

In case you didn't know, we've had a rooftop garden on our building since we've moved in. We're pretty proud of it. 

Our employees love being able to take home fresh peppers, tomatoes, carrots, and more. It's also a great distraction and break from the workday when we get to go up there to water and pick our plants.

The rooftop garden is a small thing, but it's part of our greater company initiative to be a more sustainable company, to build the earth, and provide green space in our urban environment.

What veggies do you think should we grow next year?

13 ABC visited us this week to talk to us about the garden we have on the roof of our building. Last year we built four garden boxes and planted flowers, herbs, vegetables, and fruit. We placed them on load bearing walls on the roof to support the weight.

This year we plan to expand our garden with a couple more boxes and more plants! We even have a rain barrel to collect water so that we don't have to carry it up with us.

Thanks for stopping by Lissa! You can read the full story and watch the video on 13 ABC's website.
