Feed Brant Can help you find free and low-cost places to get, grow, learn about, and eat food in Brantford and the County of Brant.
Feed Brant is managed by the Brant Food System Coalition and supported by many community partners. We are a volunteer-driven organization that is committed to sharing resources in Brantford and Brant County. We aim to increase awareness of the many great organizations advocating for a resilient local food system that is inclusive, healthy, equitable, and sustainable for Brant.
