Huerta
A market garden is a small farm that grows diverse crops such as fruits, vegetables, or flowers, that are sold directly to local consumers or restaurants. The diversity of crops and small size distinguish a market garden from other kinds of farms. In the United States, a market garden is sometimes called a truck farm.
A market garden provides a wide range and steady supply of fresh produce through the local growing season. Unlike large, industrial farms, which practice monoculture and mechanization, many different crops and varieties are grown and more manual labour and gardening techniques are used. The small output requires selling through such local fresh produce outlets as on-farm stands, farmers' markets, community-supported agriculture subscriptions, restaurants and independent produce stores.
