The Community Garden Market featured in The InterMountain

Recently, the Community Garden Market was featured in a wonderful article in The InterMountain newspaper.
Here is the link:

This section really describes the market and it's place in the community:

"The garden market promotes the health and well-being of our community, not only from a nutritional standpoint, but economically, as well as socially," Hunt said. "It's not just a place to buy and sell fresh, local produce; it's also a place where people come together to share ideas, learn new growing or cooking techniques, support one another, and just catch up on community news. It provides an opportunity, too, for some of our local families to supplement their income. We've had several of our growers tell us that they depend on the income from the market to help pay high winter heating bills or cover medical expenses."
