Up Top Acres

Up Top Acres Up Top Acres designs, builds and operates commercial rooftop soil farms in the D.C. metropolitan area. Up Top Acres is reimagining what a farm looks like.

We grow food on roofs - converting neglected spaces into viable sources of income and environmental safeguards. We create spaces for communities to interact with and learn about food, in order to establish agriculture as a fixture of city life.

Some rooftops have views. Ours grow food. 🌿

Welcome to 1440 New York Ave — where the Washington Monument is your neighbor, the White House is in your sightline, and the raised beds are full of life.

Our first season here blew every expectation out of the water:
✨ 900+ lbs of fruits
✨ 1,000+ lbs of greens
✨ 315 ft of growing space across 3 bed sections
We’re excited to see what’s in store for year 2!

Our farmers get a month off every winter. This season they hiked to Machu Picchu, did a 318 mile bike trip in North Carolina, built bird feeders, rehabbed injuries and visited friends in Belgium. The period is a well deserved break and we love seeing the adventures— big and little.

As 2025 comes to a close, we’re proud to reflect on a year of creating food producing, pollinator friendly spaces across 42 projects and 6 states— delivering local produce, reducing food miles, and creating tenant loved communities where food, ecology and connection thrive. We can’t wait to keep growing in 2026 🌱
