Mobile Market to be Featured in Upcoming Conference

We’re excited to be presenting at the “Farming for Profit and Stewardship” Conference this January 18^th and 19^th in Lansdowne, Virginia, hosted by one of Arcadia’s partners, Future Harvest CASA.

Our workshop will discuss “Evolution and Innovation” in farmers’ markets, and will be co-presented by one of the Mobile Market’s funders, Wholesome Wave.  Arcadia’s Mobile Market will be on-site at the conference as an innovative example of how to establish a farmers’ market in a low income, low food access neighborhood.

The two-day conference will have six tracks for a variety of audiences, including “Beginning Farmers,” farmers wanting to “Scale Up,” “Grass-Based Systems” of livestock husbandry, members of “Local Food Communities,” “Fruit & Vegetable Production,” and “The Business of Farming.”  A full list of the workshops can be found here.
