The NCFST Mobile Market — operated by the North Carolina Farm to School Trust — makes a stop in Wake Forest on Thursday, June 11, 2026. The Mobile Market brings fresh, affordable produce directly to communities that may have limited access to grocery options, making healthy food more accessible for all Wake Forest residents.
The NC Farm to School Trust partners with local farmers across North Carolina to source seasonal fruits and vegetables sold at below-market prices. No membership is required. The NCFST Mobile Market is open to the public, and SNAP/EBT benefits are accepted at the market.
Why the NCFST Mobile Market Matters in Wake Forest
As Wake Forest continues to grow rapidly — a pattern we’ve analyzed in depth in our reporting on the $532 million infrastructure cost of growth — access to affordable, nutritious food is an equity issue worth paying attention to. The Mobile Market helps ensure that all residents benefit from Wake Forest’s expansion, not just those in newer developments.
