Fresh Produce On Wheels
At The Warehouse has been struggling to get Albany residents to support the weekend Farmer's Market component, particularly the produce section. For this to run year round there has to be the support to prevent the wastage. We urge all locals to come down and get their fresh vegetables, locally made cheeses, honey and wine. However, we have to come up with a new tactic. Let's bring the fresh produce, cheeses and honey to the areas that most need it. Starting tomorrow we will start a dialog about using our large truck to make stops in areas under served for fresh produce. We will be looking into the licensing requirements, ability to park on the street and support from the City (technical not financial). A mobile Farmer's market. I got the idea from "Ned's Mobile Grocery" which was published in the Oct. edition of SmallBiz. I'll have to call her and thank her, even if it doesn't pan out. If anyone reading this can get Corey Ellis to contact us, please do. Attempts in the past have been unsuccessful.
