vegetable farmer

Grows edible plants

A vegetable farmer is someone who grows vegetables commercially, typically on a smaller scale than grain or livestock operations.

The term emphasizes produce cultivation rather than field crops: The vegetable farmers at the market sell what they harvested that morning.

Also called a truck farmer or market gardener.
