Relaunching November 9th, 2020, the Fresh Moves Mobile Market is a bus that has been converted into a mobile farmers’ market. The “produce aisle on wheels” aims to close the ‘food access gap’ by bringing fresh, locally grown produce and other healthy foods to communities that have historically lacked access to nutritious foods. We accept cash, Link/SNAP, and card. Find us at one of the sites listed below!
