I have read with sadness and concern about the many local farmers and growers hit hard by Gardener’s Supply in Hadley filing for bankruptcy. Likely left holding the back after the banks, etc. get their share of what’s left, I wish I had the tech savvy to set up a GoFundMe site to help them. Alas, I do not! I hope someone out there who reads this will make that effort and figure out a way to let us all chip in what we can. We all benefit in so many ways due to what these local growers and farmers do to make this area such a great spot to live — and eat!
