Mobile Farmers’ Markets
Bringing the nourishing bounty of local farmers to the Bay Area
We believe everyone should have access to locally-sourced and nourishing food, and that the health of our communities and the livelihood of our local farmers should go hand-in-hand.
All of the fresh, seasonal produce from our Mobile Farmers’ Markets is affordably priced, and we offer a 50% discount to market shoppers who participate in the CalFresh (SNAP), WIC, SSI/SSDI, Medi-Cal/Medicaid, low income, membership at a food pantry, and Unemployment programs!

“Fresh Approach has been nourishing me as I learn how to navigate a world mostly designed for other people. Having the 50% discount for folks who don’t qualify for SNAP, but do qualify for other services, such as Medi-Cal, has been so helpful! Because, like a lot of folks in the Bay Area, experiencing cost of living increases while income doesn’t keep up, continues to be a challenge. Finding the right services at the right time, is something Fresh Approach has done in my case. I’ve been very grateful!”

SOURCE MATTERS
Our Mobile Farmers’ Market makes it possible for local farms and urban growers to sell in communities that would otherwise lack access to their fresh seasonal produce, while helping small farmers diversify their sales through guaranteed weekly orders for our two trucks. When you shop at any of our mobile farmers’ market stops, you’re helping support a robust local food system that promotes sustainability, equity, and responsible stewardship in agriculture.
Our focus is on…
- Purchasing from local farms within 200 miles of the Bay Area that produce food using sustainable and ecologically sound growing practices, including certified organic
- Prioritizing sourcing produce from small-scale, BIPOC, women-owned, and early-stage farmers who are committed to equitable and fair labor practices
- Offering affordable produce that accommodates the cultural and economic preferences of our market shoppers and communities
