Fresh, locally grown vegetables will soon be available for CampEd Wildcat families. The Strong Farm Veggie Van, a mobile market filled with seasonal produce, is set to launch on Wednesday, June 25, at Will-Moore Elementary School. This initiative is a pilot project and will not be open to the general public.
Each household participating in the program will receive a bundle of farm-fresh vegetables intended for preparing nutritious meals at home. The project aims to enhance family wellness, strengthen the local food system, and support area producers.
"The Veggie Van is a great way to meet people where they are and make healthy, local food more accessible in our community," said Katie Johnke, RDN, LRD, CLC, nutrition and health promotion coordinator at Bismarck-Burleigh Public Health.
The Strong Farm Veggie Van is a collaboration between Strengthen ND Strong Farm, Bismarck-Burleigh Public Health, NDSU Extension, and Bismarck Public Schools. Local producers involved include Legendary Greens, Betty’s Acres, Stoll Farms, Skyline Ranch Produce among others.
