Editorial: Community gardens do good for many
A garden can be a wonderful thing. It is a way to get outside, to connect with the Earth, to bring more healthful foods into your day-to-day diet. It can also be much more than that, a fact that is becoming clearer all the time in Farmington and Rosemount.May 16, 2013

Editorial: Workshops move discussion out of public eye
The Farmington City Council approved a new set of goals Monday night. That’s a good thing. A city should have a plan for where it wants to go in the coming years.

Editorial: Plenty of good news in schools
Farmington got a lot of attention last week thanks to the actions of one high school hockey player. The reaction is not a big surprise.
