Re: FRom community garden to farmers market?

**A*@aol.com**

Urban farming is an old, old story.  Usually it starts to be restricted when 
the first ordinances about banning ruminant farm animals begins. Once there is 
a surplus, community gardeners share it or sell it. My garden sells honey one 
or twice a year, other sell produce of all kinds. 

Now, it is hard for a volunteer community garden to compete with a truck 
farrm, but if the offerings are specialized - a particular kind of pepper, 
heirloom tomato, preserves made by a communtiy gardener, then there's an interesting 
niche market - But to expect a community gardener to be able to support 
herslef from her garden plot? Not particulalry wise.
