Fresh, locally grown produce arrives in North Sacramento with the Mobile Farmers Market, a traveling marketplace that makes fruits and vegetables convenient and affordable for neighborhoods that face barriers to healthy food. Sponsored by Councilmember Roger Dickinson in collaboration with the Center for Land-Based Learning and Sierra Service Project, this market on wheels connects shoppers directly with the farmers who grow their food and creates opportunities for small and beginning farms. The program prioritizes sustainably grown and culturally relevant crops, pays farmers fairly, and encourages community participation to strengthen a more equitable and resilient regional food system. Shoppers using SNAP/EBT are welcome, and Market Match provides a 50 percent discount to help stretch benefits further. According to a 2023 report from the Yolo Food Bank, nearly one in three Yolo County residents experience food insecurity, and this mobile market helps address that need by reducing both financial and physical barriers to access. It serves ethnically diverse, low income communities identified as food insecure, with outreach materials available in Russian, Farsi, and Spanish. Most produce is sourced from nearby small farms, with at least 60 percent grown within 25 miles and all of it coming from within 100 miles.
