What Is the Mobile Food Market?
The Mobile Food Market is a weekly produce market in your neighbourhood. Our goal is to make fresh food affordable and accessible to all households in Cambridge and North Dumfries. The type and amount of food available at each pick-up will vary but there will be a minimum of 5 varieties of produce with 4 servings of each offered each week.
Who Can Shop?
Everyone is welcome to shop at the Market. There is no pre-registration. The market is open to anyone who would benefit from getting more access to fresh, healthy food at a cost they can afford.
How Much Does it cost?
Each week a selection of food will be available for a flat rate. Paying what you can helps others afford great food. The menu of fruits and vegetables offered weekly cost the food bank $10 per basket. If your basic needs are at risk and you cannot afford $10, you may pay the minimum rate of $5. No questions asked.
By purchasing your produce with the CFB you are not only supporting food bank initiatives but also local agricultural as we source as much food locally as possible.
*The subsidized rate available for those living on a low income.
What Can Be Purchased at the Market?
The Market will feature a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables The produce available will be based on what is currently in season. Every effort will be made to source local food but some imported food may be offered based on the requests of Market shoppers. We will take into account the needs and preferences of those who are shopping at the Market and make every effort to source food that meets cultural and dietary needs.
