A new mobile market will bring a new dimension to the Delmar Loop Metro Link Station this spring and summer every Tuesday afternoon. “Farm to Family Naturally”’s Mobile Market is a community service that brings fresh, healthy and locally grown foods to communities that have few if any groceries within easy reach of their residents.

The Mobile Market travels with a refrigerated truck to sponsored sites at health care centers, daycare programs and to Metro Transit stops where people can take advantage of opportunities to stock up on foods.

These markets set up under tents and provide farm fresh produce for purchase along with eggs, staples, preserved foods, sauces, teas and baked goods. Our farm fresh selections feature locally and sustainably grown fruits and vegetables in season. Among favorite items are lettuces, spinach, greens, kale, broccoli, cauliflower, cucumbers, onions, potatoes, carrots, radishes, peppers, corn, tomatoes, asparagus, melons, apples, peaches, pears, plums, cherries, berries, and more as the season and weather permit.

We also sell a few items such as bananas, oranges, lemons and limes that, though grown outside the region, deliver health benefits our customers need.

Also sold are locally grown eggs, culinary herbs, grains, beans, jams, WIC eligible cheeses, jams, sauces, ready to eat foods and some baked goods. Prices change on a week to week basis with the season.

The market will be open on Tuesdays from 1-4 p.m. just outside the Delmar Loop MetroLink Station.
