What is it?
Basically Market on The Move is an organization where farmer get to send their produce in bulk that is not picked up by large distributors and therefore can be purchased locally at a discount. The farmer gets to sell produce that may have ended up wasted and we get to buy it cheap. Win Win!Where Can I find events?
HereWhat does it cost?
Supporters: For a $10 donation, receive up to 60 lbs. of fresh produce. There is no need to pre-register or pre pay online. You can make your donation at the event.
Membership: For a $100 annual membership, the 3000 Club member can go to one site per week throughout Metro Phoenix, Green Valley or Tucson, get their up to 60 lbs. of produce for a nominal donation of $5.Members will have an opportunity to use their membership cards weekly from November thru May and twice a month events during the summer months (June to October). Membership cards will reflect these weekly opportunities.
