Fresh Produce for The Greater Capital Region
Capital Roots’ Veggie Mobile®, sponsored by CDPHP, is a mobile market that travels to inner-city neighborhoods throughout Albany, Rensselaer and Schenectady counties. It’s been bringing a large variety of fresh, affordable and local produce to residents with limited access to fresh food since 2007. Designed for energy efficiency, the box-truck runs on bio-diesel fuel and has been retro-fitted with solar panels, which power the market’s refrigerators.
The Veggie Mobile® operates year-round, five days a week. We make our produce available at wholesale cost and we happily accept cash, food stamps, Double Up Food Bucks and Veggie Rx coupons. Our Veggie Mobile® team visits more than 30 locations, delivering fresh produce to the public, health and child-care centers, senior and low-income housing facilities. Find out when we’re visiting your neighborhood or listen for the lively music we play to announce our arrival.
