Definition
Programs that bring fresh meat and produce, dairy items and other food and grocery products to remote rural areas, urban "food deserts" (neighborhoods without access to good quality, affordable food) or other areas where residents have minimal access to healthy food sources or must travel long distances to access grocery stores that sell fresh food. Mobile markets generally operate from a truck, van, trailer or other vehicle converted for this purpose; and, like farmers markets, can serve various communities on a scheduled or rotating basis.
