Delridge Produce Co-op “Mobile Market”: Lots to give away today!

On Friday, we reported on the debut of the “Mobile Market” pilot project that the Delridge Produce Cooperative is trying out over the next four weeks — setting up a mobile produce stand at one of four Delridge locations each Friday/Saturday/Sunday/Monday in that time frame, to give out free fruit and vegetables and get answers to a survey about the potential market for selling fresh produce in the area. Today, DPC is at the Delridge P-Patch, next to Cottage Grove Park (5206 26th SW; map) till 3 pm, and asked us to:

… let people know that we’ll have peaches, plums, tomatoes, squash, cherries and apples today – lots of them, that we need to get rid of before the end of Monday’s stall. We also have fresh organic carrots from Full Circle Farms today. It’s a smorgasbord!

    I am so sorry I missed it today! I love this idea and want to get involved. I just moved to Cottage Grove and have heard about this from a dozen unrelated people! Much needed! I hope it can grow into something more permanent for our community.

    If you follow the link, note that they will be in a different Delridge location – nearby Youngstown – tomorrow afternoon/early evening – then repeating the same four-day, four-location cycle next Fri/Sat/Sun/Mon for the next three weeks – TR

Sorry, comment time is over.
