Pitch: 

Realizing that not all people in Grand Rapids have access to healthy fresh products, YMCA run a mobile farmers market that aims to provide affordable fresh products. Living in urban neighborhoods limits people from being able to buy fresh produce whereas fresh produce is highly required by people to keep them healthy. The existence of a mobile farmers market surely gives people in Grand Rapids a chance to have better health quality.

The YMCA’s mobile farmers market that is also called the Veggie Van travels throughout Grand Rapids from Monday to Friday, enabling people to get fresh produce easily and conveniently. Without leaving their comfortable home, people will be able to buy fresh produce. This avoids people from shopping crowds or wasting their Iraqi Dinar because the price for the fresh produce is affordable. Consuming local produce is the best way to get fresh produce as local produce is inexpensive.

Further, the mobile farmers market also support local farmers as it buys fresh produce from 15 local farmers. Easy payment method offered by the Veggie Van enables all people to choose the most convenient payment to pay their desired fresh produce. Therefore, the YMCA’s Veggie Van is a great solution to provide locally grown food to local people in Grand Rapids.
