Hey Friends,

First, I'd like to say I'm amazed at how many of you have stepped up to connect as many community members with access to food and goods to prepare for the scarcity that we're ALL likely to feel in the coming months. I feel like I'm a little late to the game, but it warms my heart and fills me with hope that-- like any good small town-- people are helping people.

We've updated our GET PRODUCE page with updated, local food bank and pantry locations times and contact information.

Just a quick announcement and a little update!

BSTH will be at Eagle View Adult Center (EVAC) on Thursday, September 11th at 10:30am giving away the produce we grew this year.
All produce was grown here in Brighton at the Bromley Koizuma-Hishinuma Farm, and we had such a wonderful time getting to know the soil and watching as things grew (or didn't grow-- RIP celery).

So, if you're able this Thursday, please stop by, chat with us and take home some produce. Feel free to grab some for anybody else you know. It's all free for our community 🙂.

Thanks and we'll catch up soon, I'm sure!

Hey y'all!

I'm looking for around 3 individuals/ families who are looking to bolster their meal plans with some extra produce (free, they just need to harvest). I'd like to help those who face food insecurity/scarcity as a priority, but right now I have a few things in the field that are ready an no good way to verify.

DM me if you'd like to nominate yourself or someone you know who can come out to Bromley Farm and harvest some produce in the BSTH Garden this week.

Right now we have:
-Pok Choy ( leafy green that's not bitter and holds up when lightly cooked or eaten raw)
-Radishes ( two types, both crisp and can be eaten raw, pickled or cooked into dishes)
-Kale ( leafy green that is usually cooked into dishes to add greens and a savory flavor)

If you know someone, let me know and we'll get them some local produce!

P.S. BSTH is operating a large Demonstration Garden this year at the Historic Bromley Farm where we'll be growing produce to give to the community as it ripens in the field. Our hope is to engage the community with answers to gardening questions like:
Will my tomatoes grow better in the shade?
How late is TOO late for snap peas?
How do I keep my garden watered in the blazing summer heat?
What are good trellis options for small spaces?

We want to cultivate your curiosity and we've finally found a place to do so! We'll be putting out a list of plants currently out in the field here soon, but stop by anytime during our hours (posted on our website) and ask us for a tour, your questions and maybe even leave with a little produce!

Thanks again, friends and I hope your season stays green!

Agriculturally,
