Cooperatives can help gardeners and farmers

March 6, 2011 by Melanie Bondera Though we all probably love spending time working solo in our gardens or on our farms, we usually arrive at a point where we realize we might benefit from a little support. Then it’s time to “hui up.” Working together can accomplish many goals. Maybe you want some organic gardening supplies that are too expensive to buy locally. Perhaps you’d love to be able to use a piece of equipment occasionally that you can’t afford to buy on your own.
