market gardens
Commercial vegetable farms
Market gardens are small-scale farms that grow vegetables, fruits, and flowers for direct sale to local consumers, restaurants, or farmers' markets.
Unlike large agricultural operations, market gardens emphasize variety over volume, often cultivating many different crops on a few acres: She supplies three restaurants from her market garden.
The British term corresponds roughly to American "truck farm."
