Nuestras Raices Mobile Market

No information yet for 2020 season.

With the support from MDAR, Nuestras Raíces launched its mobile local farmers market in the summer of 2017!

The Mobile Market brings healthy, farm fresh produce to underserved neighborhoods of Holyoke. Nuestras Raíces mobile market is a grassroots response to address health issues and food access by providing access to produce grown at local farms to the neighborhoods in the city. Because many neighborhoods are considered food deserts, this “farm stand on wheels” creates accessibility to fresh and local foods, affordability through its acceptance of SNAP, HIP, WIC, and senior coupons, and availability of culturally appropriate crops for the city’s large Puerto Rican population.
