Economic development related to selling produce does not appear to be an
important aspect of the Latino community gardens in this study. None of the gardens
allow selling produce for personal profit. Some gardens have a vegetable stand and
use the profits for garden improvements. It appeared that the profits do not cover the
time invested and other monetary investments involved in selling produce. In some
cases, these costs are covered by non-profits such as Just Food and Green Guerillas, as
part of their efforts to promote community-based entrepreneurship and economic
opportunity.
