Mobile Farmers Market

Too busy to grocery shop? Save time and effort by pre-purchasing fruits and vegetables from local farmers through the Mobile Farmers Market.The mobile market is the first market of its kind at any university. It's a form of community supported agriculture (CSA), a concept that encourages small farmers to sell directly to local customers. For more information, click here.
