Fresh, locally grown produce is arriving in North Sacramento through a Mobile Farmers Market that brings an affordable selection of fruits and vegetables straight to the neighborhood. The effort is sponsored by Councilmember Roger Dickinson in collaboration with the Center for Land-Based Learning and Sierra Service Project. This mobile market delivers sustainably grown produce to communities across Yolo County that face barriers to healthy food. A 2023 report from the Yolo Food Bank found that nearly one in three county residents experiences food insecurity, and this traveling marketplace helps address that need by making shopping convenient and budget friendly. It also supports small and beginning farms by providing a direct outlet and connecting shoppers with the people who grow their food. By working with local growers to offer culturally relevant crops, paying fair prices, and encouraging community participation, the program advances a healthier food system with a focus on equity and resilience. To stretch household budgets, the market accepts SNAP/EBT and offers a 50 percent discount through Market Match. It serves ethnically diverse, low income neighborhoods identified as food insecure by the USDA, helping lower both financial and physical barriers to access. Most of the harvest comes from nearby farms, with 60 percent grown within 25 miles and all of it sourced within 100 miles. Outreach materials are available in Russian, Farsi, and Spanish to reflect the diversity of the community.
