"A mobile market serves as a consolidated farmers market that can be transported in a van or other large vehicle to food deserts, low-income communities, and areas with limited fresh, healthy food options. Many mobile markets are refrigerated trucks or have refrigerated shelves to support the transport of fresh produce and other perishable farm products."
