For journalists, photographers, students, and researchers:  We love for you to help us tell our story to the wider community, and business at our market booth increases any time we hit the mainstream media.  However, we do recieve a lot of requests for interviews, both from journalists and students.  Please be aware that in the summer months especially, we are very busy and may take a day or two to return your phone call.  Also, because of the farmers' work schedules at their other jobs, a lot of the most interesting work at Global Gardens is done in the evenings and on weekends, so please be prepared to visit us during those times, or give us ample notice to arrange something during your usual working hours.
