Many people in Rowan County, N.C., don’t have access to healthy foods – so Jon Barber, a local food advocate and farmers’ market owner, is bringing the fruits and vegetables to them.

Mobile Farm Fresh is a mobile farmer’s market, built in a retired city bus, to restore healthy food access. The one-aisle mobile grocery store specializes in fresh, whole foods.
