Bountiful Brookline in the news!

Our first event was a great success, you can read about it in
the Brookline Tab online: "Even in Brookline, would-be farmers are finding a way" and check out the video (2:06 length) featuring founder/director Cathy Neal, Steering Committee member John Lee, and intern Leah Skahen.
