MALVERN, Iowa (KMTV) On a piece of land that has buried train tracks running through it, Tyler Bartley decided to create a large garden to grow local, organic produce and offer it up at affordable prices to his community.
In the bedroom community of Malvern, Iowa it can be tough to compete with the larger city about a half-hour away. It was always hard to offer something here that Omaha didn t have better, but having good farmland and quality produce, that s not a challenge here, said Bartley.
