Firstly, a market garden is a relatively small-scale production with a large selection of fruits, vegetables and flowers as cash crops, frequently sold directly to consumers and restaurants through the local growing system. Add a tool library containing the latest market garden equipment, Educational system, Innovative planning and management systems and in the future a distribution channel, Farmgate trail, and events and you have Acres & Acres COOP Community Market Garden!
