A new mobile farmers market is bringing fresh, locally grown produce within walking distance for several Little Rock neighborhoods.

Fresh2You Mobile Farmers Market, a retrofitted Little Rock Metro bus, delivers fresh fruits and vegetables to “food deserts” throughout the area.

A food desert is defined as an area in which fresh, healthy food choices are not easily accessible, meaning no grocery stores are within walking or short driving distance, or that the area is home to specific, at-risk population, such as the elderly. The hope is to expand the mobile market program to all of Pulaski County and to communities in need around the state.
