Who Are We?
The Produce Cart is a mobile farmer’s market lead by Community Partnership Inc. which is a nonprofit 501 (c)(3) community action agency service in Butler County Pennsylvania.
Together, we aim to combat the local causes and conditions of poverty and food insecurity.
Why the Bus?
By making the farmer’s market mobile we can take the market to areas where fresh food is hard to access.
Anyone is allowed to buy from The Produce Cart, regardless of income. We started The Produce Cart to make healthy food accessible to all.
Free Food???
Sorry, The Produce Cart isn’t a food pantry. HOWEVER, we work hard to keep our prices low because our goal is to make fresh local food accessible.
*The Produce Cart DOES accept Fresh Bucks, EBT SNAP, FMNP, SFMNP, and Primary Health Vouchers.
