What Is the Mobile Food Market?

The Mobile Food Market is a weekly produce market in your neighbourhood. We make fresh food affordable and accessible.  The collective assortment of produce offered varies on a weekly basis and there is always a minimum of 5 varieties available.

Who Can Shop?

Everyone.  

How Much Does it Cost?

Each week a selection of produce will be available for purchase. Items are not sold separately.  The menu of fruits and vegetables offered weekly costs the food bank $10-$15 per basket. 

By purchasing your produce at the Mobile Food Market you are not only supporting food bank initiatives but also local agriculture as we source as much food locally as possible.

If your basic needs are at risk, visit our sites in person and the minimum fee per basket is $5.00. Please continue to shop with us, no questions asked.

Local Farmers

Through the generous support of our community, the Cambridge Food Bank has invested in several local farmers who are growing food specifically for the market. We believe that investing in the community, the people we serve, and our environment will lead to better lives.

NEW: Business Site Visits

Each week the Mobile Food Market will bring a farmer’s market selection of fresh fruits and vegetables to you.  Through the power of bulk buying we are able to offer incredibly discounted high quality produce. Our baskets save customers 30-40% off retail pricing. 

Bring your community together through food. Our “food truck” visits are easy to schedule and require little coordination. We bring the produce and they choose their pieces for their bags. All basket items are included in the ‘price’.  We have a pre-paid voucher system if you’d like to purchase baskets in advance, please ask us for more information. 

When you purchase from the Mobile Food Market you are supporting the Cambridge Food Bank and local farms! In addition to providing emergency food assistance for the City of Cambridge & North Dumfries, we also offer free wellness programming for youth and adults.
