What is Public Farmland?

Many of you have no doubt seen the signs at Morales Farm and Johnson Farm that shout out in barnyard red, “Public Farmland.”  The City of Bainbridge Island owns approximately 60 acres of “public farmland.”  The City had the foresight in years past to purchase this land. Some was donated.  We are fortunate we have publicly-owned farmland because it can provide healthy, local food for our families, right here on the island, for years to come.  And publicly-owned farmland means that farming can be a viable livelihood for present and future island farmers.
