BRITE Herb Farm and BRITE Training Centre
In 2012 BRITE successfully applied for a funding to create a Herb Farm within the BRITE Plants Nursery complex. LOCAL SOLUTIONS FUND
Being recipients in Round Two of the Local Solutions Fund, a federal government funded initiative, has enabled BRITE to establish a Herb Farm business and training venture within one year of first soil being turned in mid-2012. The venture has been established on 1.3 acres of land at the BRITE site in Broadmeadows, Victoria and provides the setting to enable delivery of work skills and vocational training in Horticulture to people in Hume. The project will facilitate the pathway from pre-accredited to accredited training and provide opportunities for participants to undertake Certificate 1 in Agri Foods Operations and Certificate 2 in Horticulture.
