Nonprofit Shalom Farms Mobile Market, a consistent fresh food outlet across Richmond since 2016, brings locally grown, affordable produce directly to neighborhoods in the East End, Northside and Southside at 13 locations.
Each week from Tuesday through Friday, and on the second and fourth Sunday at the RVA Black Farmers Market, they provide Shalom Farms—grown produce and pantry staples. Shoppers can purchase seasonal vegetables, fruits, herbal teas, jams, eggs and whole chickens.
Pricing follows a sliding scale model, with the option to shop at a donation-discounted, affordable price or a supporter price for those able to pay a little more and sustain Shalom Farms’ programming. SNAP shoppers also receive a 50 percent match through the Virginia Fresh Match Program.
Regular cooking demonstrations and free samples throughout the season are led by Community Chef Jason Muckle to make fresh, healthy food even more accessible, offering inspiration and easy ideas for what is in season.
Location: 1311 Westwood Ave., Richmond. For more information, call 804-220-0025 or visit ShalomFarms.org/find-fresh-food.
