Fresh Moves

Urban Growers Collective’s Fresh Moves Mobile Market delivers the benefits of healthy, locally grown produce and other nutritious foods to Chicago’s communities while supporting the growth of Chicago’s urban farmers. 

This “produce aisle on wheels” works toward closing the food access gap by bringing produce to schools, community centers, churches, and health clinics, making good food accessible in Black and Brown neighborhoods that have been historically divested.

Fresh Moves accepts cash, credit/debit, FMNP, SNAP/EBT, and SNAP double value matching

Weekly CSA box delivery

Our Collective Supported Agriculture (CSA) program is a subscription that allows members to receive weekly shares of fresh, local produce grown by Urban Growers Collective and our partners.

We offer both half shares (5-6 items per week) and full shares (10-12 items per week) as well as the option to donate a mutual aid share to a community member in need.

Members can select either home delivery or pick-up at either Floriole Bakery or our South Chicago farm.
