Tina Bromley, the owner of Tiny Greens and the winner of Peterborough’s Win This Space entrepreneurial competition, will be featured on CBC Radio’s Ontario Morning on Thursday (July 13).
The segment will air at around 8:10 a.m., with host Wei Chen interviewing Bromely about the Win This Space competition and the growth of her microgreens business — edible young plants harvested just after the first leaves develop,
According to Bromley, the interview was prompted by the recent launch by the Town of Dryden of it’s own Win This Space competition, inspired by the Peterborough competition organized by the Peterborough Downtown Business Improvement Area (DBIA) in February 2017.
“This opportunity to share my vision with a larger audience is exciting and meaningful for our future,” Bromely says, “while giving exposure to urban farming and local sustainable food choices.”
Ever since winning the Peterborough Win The Space competition, which included a year-long lease on a downtown Peterborough storefront, Bromley has been working non-stop to get her storefront ready for the public while growing her business with the help of the exposure from winning the contest.
The Tiny Greens storefront, located at 431 George Street North in downtown Peterborough, opens at 10 a.m. on Wednesday, July 26th. The location will feature Bromley’s signature microgreens, a juice bar, health food, cafe-style seating, and a retail space.
Bromley calls the storefront a “healthy hub” for Peterborough.
“I’m trying to make ‘healthy’ satisfying and fun, because that’s what life should be,” Bromely says.
Bromely’s microgreens can currently be found at all the local Farmers; Markets and online at www.tinygreens.ca.
