What is more important than growing food locally, using low impact methods?
Teaching children, our future, how to grow food for themselves, their school and families.
At the Bromley Food Social Enterprise, we aim to show children exactly how we grow salads, leafy greens and small fruits using a variety of low impact technologies, which are based around water preservation, energy efficiency and delivery of food to the heat of the community that it feeds.
We want to grow food, but we also wish to grow the ideas of local and low impact food production to children in our communities.
With profits made from selling our hydroponic produce, Koi Carp, gourmet mushrooms, worm compost and a number of other products, along with kind donations from our supporters, we aim to put a small hydroponic system in to schools that visit us, to allow the children to experience hands on growing off produce.
For us, selling our produce is only the beginning; educating youngsters in our community is our mission.
In learning about how food is produced, children’s and schools can benefit. We aim to assist schools in numerous areas of the curriculum including Food Science, Biology, Chemistry and PSHE to name just a few.
