​Veggie Van Study Team

 The Veggie Van Study is based at the University at Buffalo and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC). Members of our team ran the Veggie Van program for over 6 years in North Carolina.  Now we have transitioned to providing technical assistance to other organizations looking to start mobile produce markets or evaluate their current programs.
