Accomplishing Better Health: Farm 2 City 2 Your Home

Farm to Family

"Feeding the Community One Stop at a Time"

Farm to Family is a link between farm and city, taking locally grown food to families in urban, rural areas while educating people about food security. Mark Lilly converted a 1987 international diesel school bus into a mobile market on wheels. His philosophy, " Why go to the market, when the market can come to you!"

Through his mobile market idea, Lilly strives to provide urban communities with fresh, locally grown produce and other homemade products. Its important for Farm to Family to target areas that don't have equal access to fresh food, and to teach people the importance of the produce, as well as how to cook it. One of their biggest goals is to be proactive about changing bad eating habits of those across the nation.

Along the way, Farm to Family builds personal relationships within the community, bringing people together, and focusing on reconnecting people with real food. By growing, and sourcing produce within the community, Farm to Family aspires to have everyone growing their own food and using the bus as vehicle to help sell and distribute their fruits back into the community in which it has grown.

By becoming the bridge that links farming, produce and community together developing a sustainable food distribution system has become one of the main strengths of this bus experience. Not only are Lilly and his family bringing the farm to you, but he is also giving you a unique shopping/educational experience.
