Kathy Connell holds a beet from her large organic garden in rural Sebeka, Minn., in September 2020. For years, Connell grew vegetables to sell at area farmers' markets and whole foods stores, and also taught gardening classes. Recently, she has scaled back and now raises food mainly for her own family.
