Brewing CO Gives Land for Community Garden

Is there a better place than THIS for a community garden?




It's behind Otter Creek Brewing, and when the land in Middlebury was given for the garden last year, lots of folks were with the idea. Now, it's the Otter Creek Organic Community Garden and the Addison County Independent reports that from May to October, the garden is a hotbed of activity. The twenty plots measure four feet wide by 20 feet long and all sorts of people dig in to raise veggies during the summer and for the winter. Some of the plots are tended to by local agencies that give their produce to those in need. And the Vermont Master Gardeners has four demo plots in the garden where they help those with less of a green thumb. They even set aside some time each week to answer questions about better gardening.
