A market garden, also called a micro-farm, is a small plot of land – a very small farm – where fruits, vegetables and flowers are grown and sold to the public. The crops are cash crops, i.e. grown for profit.
Market gardens are typically from one to a few acres in size. Many consist of large greenhouses, or a combination of plants grown both indoors and outdoors.
Most market gardens grow and supply fresh produce through the local growing season. Unlike large scale farms, they generally have a wide range of crops and are less industrially intensive, i.e. crops are picked or harvested using manual labor, with gardening rather than intensive farming techniques.
