Custom made truck from The Farmers Truck
Veggie Van Mobile Farmers Market
Since 2016, the Veggie Van program mission has been:
- to increase food security
- to promote equitable food access
- to work towards a sustainable and diverse local food system
The Veggie Van connects Niagara County residents with access to locally grown and produced fruits, veggies, proteins, dairy and more.
All of the food distributed is purchased from local small farms in Western New York , allowing the Veggie Van program to directly support our farmers and producers.
The new Veggie Van Farm Truck was funded by the Highmark BlueFund Western New York grant in 2021. We are also the recipients of several New York State grants which enabled us to provide over 180,000 lbs of produce to Niagara County residents at no cost!
The Veggie Van program serves about 1000 individuals a month at locations throughout Niagara County, all year long. Participants receive food bags containing seasonal produce, dairy, proteins and more, all year long.
The Veggie Van program is currently full and cannot accept any new participants. We are constantly looking for more funding to increase access for this important program. Please email Jen with any questions at jcr284@cornell.edu.
Thank you everyone for your support!
