MOBILE FARM STAND
Food Strong recently launched our Mobile Farm Stand. We renovated a pop-up camper into a portable space from which to sell our freshly-grown produce and value-added products. We kept the kitchen on the camper in order to offer culinary demonstrations and tastings. We focus our sales in communities with little-to-no access to fresh food retail options. We accept incentives such as SNAP, WIC, Senior Coupons, and Produce Perks.
Thank you to the Fun(d) First Women's Giving Circle and Harvard Business School Alumni Association of Northeast Ohio for helping us bring life to this new initiative
Email Info@FoodStrong.org if you are interested in partnering with or selling your local products at the market.
