Mobile Market
In Fall of 2022, Route One launched the first ever mobile market in Santa Barbara county. The mission of the mobile market is to increase access to fresh, locally grown produce within Lompoc and its surrounding communities.
Nearly all produce sold at our mobile market is sourced from Lompoc Valley farmers. The mobile market provides our smaller scale farmers an additional opportunity to connect with the community and sell their goods.
The Mobile Market happily accepts EBT, and also offers a 50% discount on all produce through Market Match. This program helps us continue our mission to build a healthier and happier Lompoc.
Follow us on social media or see schedule below for our truck’s weekly stops.
