This case study is possible because of the hard work, wisdom, and generosity of Lisa MacDougall at Mighty Food Farm. Without their willingness to take the project on to begin with, deal with all the challenges that such projects bring, and complete it we would have nothing to share. We are grateful to them for their willingness to share their story and knowledge in this form so that others can learn.
