Fresh, locally grown produce arrives in North Sacramento with the Mobile Farmers Market, a traveling marketplace that connects residents with small and beginning farms. The effort is sponsored by Councilmember Roger Dickinson in partnership with the Center for Land-Based Learning and Sierra Service Project.
