truck farms
Vegetable cultivation plots
Truck farms are small farms that grow vegetables and fruits for sale at nearby markets.
The truck in question is not the vehicle but an older sense meaning barter or exchange—the produce is grown for trade rather than personal consumption.
Truck farms typically operate near cities, selling directly to consumers or local grocers.
The truck farms outside Philadelphia supplied the city's markets.
