Fresh Moves Mobile Market

Delivering the benefits of healthy, locally grown food and supporting Chicago’s urban farmers

Urban Growers Collective’s Fresh Moves Mobile Market delivers the benefits of healthy, locally grown produce and other nutritious foods to Chicago’s communities while supporting the growth of Chicago’s urban farmers. 

This “produce aisle on wheels” works toward closing the food access gap by bringing produce to schools, community centers, churches, and health clinics, making good food accessible in Black and Brown neighborhoods that have been historically divested.

About our Mobile Market

Fresh Moves Mobile Market began as a program of Growing Power, Inc. and Food Desert Action, Inc. The market ran in Chicago under the direction of Growing Power from 2015-2017. When Growing Power closed in 2017, Urban Growers Collective continued the Fresh Moves Mobile Market program.
