market garden
Commercial produce farm
A market garden is a small-scale farming operation that grows vegetables, fruits, and flowers for direct sale to consumers, restaurants, or local markets.
Unlike large commercial farms that ship produce long distances, market gardens typically serve their immediate community and emphasize variety over volume.
The term is more common in British English; Americans might say truck farm.
