Check out the model for MarinSunFarms.com. We are a sustainable animal farm that utilizes the resources of the region to get healthy meat on people's tables. This model can be applied to produce as well. Setting up farmers' markets is easy if there are local farmers in the area. If the area doesn't have local farmers' (for whatever reason) try something else. Have a community garden as well as backyard gardens. Neighbors can sell their produce for cheap to each other (and free for those who can't afford it) and the earnings go to building other parts of the community.
