Meadowbrook Farm moves nursery to Kennewick leases land east of city
The Meadowbrook Farm Co. rents about 100 acres east of the city to Breithaupt Bros. of Richland for three years. Breithaupt, owner of Richland Nursery Co., will move most nursery stock to Kennewick this winter with W. J. Breithaupt in charge and to make his home there after January 1. Headquarters stay at Richland for now. Major leased land includes five and ten acre apple blocks. Leasers will fulfill existing contracts and use spaces between rows for nursery stock. A small city tract will host floriculture and the office. Move aims at improved shipping facilities and may shift headquarters to Kennewick. Meadowbrook’s livestock business remains unaffected on the leased land.
