Each Friday, Hopewell Gardens participates in the Donelson Farmer’s Market which provides our area with fresh, local produce. This market also offers reduced pricing for lower income families making healthy, local produce more accessible to a much broader demographic.

Geoff Hartnell, our farm manager, and Gerron Norman represent our community garden at the local farmer’s market. Gerron, 15, lives in our neighborhood and volunteers 3-4 times a week in our garden.
