JetBlue opens farm at JFK airport

[Hatu]

Well, it might not be a refinery but:

The "T5 Farm" will be located outdoors at JetBlue's Terminal 5.

It will be roughly 24,000 square feet and will have 3,000 crates of potato plants. About 2,000 different herbs, plants and other types of produce, like beets and arugula, will also be grown on the farm.

All of the plants were specifically selected because they won't attract birds and other wildlife to the terminal.

JetBlue said it plans to produce over 1,000 pounds of blue potatoes with each crop.

Fantastic!

Maybe they will make JBLU potato Vodka for service on their flights. And maybe some chips to go with the drinks. Too bad Delta didn't think of this one.

They will, and then we will hear all about how DL is a "first mover" in the agriculture front.

My understand is DL will be recreating Eden

I thought that already exists somewhere on Virginia Ave...

I really think JBLU is missing an opportunity at marketing gold here.
