about the veggie van
The Veggie Van is a "pay-what-you-can" mobile farm market stand that carries locally produced resources to rural communities in Southeastern Ohio throughout each growing season. The goals of the Veggie Van are to bring those resources into communities that have limited access to them, to do it in a way that is affordable, sustainable, and accessible to as many people as possible, and to connect more families and individuals in our communities with the farmers and processes that provide those resources.
The Veggie Van makes weekly stops throughout the growing season (early spring to late fall) in our communities, as well as participates in local events. Check out our calendar below to learn more about when and where to catch the Veggie Van! Then show up, browse the available items, gather helpful information, and chat with our team to learn more.
