Fulton Fresh Mobile Market Application

Fulton Fresh Mobile Farmers Market

Fulton Fresh Mobile Market Taking Applications

April 07, 2020

The Fulton Fresh mobile market was created to educate residents living in communities designated as “food deserts” on the importance of fresh and in-season produce. Every week, attendees will participate in a 30-45 minute UGA Extension nutrition education and food demonstration and will then be given a free bag of in-season produce from our mobile market to take home and prepare. The produce is not sold; rather, it is given away to individuals who arrive to the nutrition class no later than by ten minutes after it begins.

This Summer, the mobile market will run for 10 weeks during the 2020 summer season, from June 2 - July 2 and July 14 - August 13. Each chosen organization will be served a total of 5 times during the summer season. Location stops will be selected through this application process and the location contact will assist in the set up and advertising of the mobile market stop.
