BACKGROUND
In 2016, the City of Brighton and the Bromley Local Food Campus entered into a Public Private Partnership to operate the Bromley/Hishinuma Farm as a living farm. The City provides the property and the Bromley Local Food Campus provides the operation and maintenance of the farm. The past two years have been a learning experience to determine what will work and what is not successful. Last year was more successful than the first year. The operator has learned from the first two years which will make year three even more successful. Nathan Mudd with the Bromley Local Food Campus will present the attached presentation.
