There’s a demand for healthy, local, organically grown food,” said Jenny Quiner with Dogpatch Urban Gardens. “We have a storefront, so people can come to our farm experience, see what we’re doing here, see how product is grown. They get engaged with me and my other farmers and our employees. So there’s so much community that revolves around our farm .

Dogpatch also says seven states recognize their gardens for their outstanding work.
