MANKATO, Minn. (AP) The Living Earth Center on Good Counsel Hill has for 30 years welcomed area residents to use the two-acre community garden.

“At the community garden people are growing their own food and at the farm volunteers are growing food that’s donated to the community,” said Laura Peterson, Living Earth Center executive director.
