Community Food Program
Follow The Tomato
Our Mobile Farmers Market trucks bring fresh, local, sustainably-grown produce to food insecure neighborhoods throughout the Sacramento region. According to a 2023 report by the Yolo Food Bank, nearly one in three Yolo County residents face food insecurity. Our farmers market on wheels addresses that concern, making fresh fruits and vegetables affordable and convenient. The Mobile Farmers Market provides an innovative marketplace for small and beginning farms and connects consumers with the people who grow their food. By growing crops that are culturally relevant to our diverse communities, paying farmers a fair price, and fostering community involvement, we promote a healthier food system that is equitable and resilient.
The MFM is helping to reduce both financial and physical barriers to food access. To better serve low-income customers, we accept SNAP/EBT (food stamps) and offer a 50% discount through Market Match. This program incentivizes these customers to use their EBT dollars at local farmers markets.
We have been working in Yolo County since 2021; in 2026 we are expanding our reach to Sacramento County, including locations downtown, Del Paso Heights, and Aggie Square.
