The members listed have worked together for the last year, however Karen Ganey and Laura Simon have been involved with this garden for a number of years and the core group has had dramatic turnover since 2008. The Upper Valley Food Co-op through Chris Jacobson, provides the coordination, money management and volunteers who help to facilitate the growing season. The town of Hartford affords the garden access to water and the land. The Core group defines the parameters for the growing season, assists in coordinating garden workshops, cultivates several plots for growing food for the local food shelf and being on hand for gardeners questions and management.
