WHAT IS PHILLY LOVES FRESH?

Philly Loves Fresh is a campaign to promote fresh fruits and vegetables. It is a
partnership among West and Southwest Philadelphia produce trucks and the
Philadelphia Department of Public Health. Neighborhood produce trucks offer
affordable and convenient fresh produce, even as food prices rise. These
licensed trucks are not new — some have been serving and enriching neighborhoods
for over 30 years.  Philly Loves Fresh aims to make sure everyone knows about
them!

COMMUNITY PRESENCE

Minimal excess produce goes to waste. Some trucks restock nearly everyday and
donate extra produce to churches and mosques in the area. Other trucks donate
their produce to those that cannot afford to purchase any. These produce trucks
are rooted in their communities and are intentionally working to make eating
fruits and vegetables the default choice. 




HISTORICAL CONTEXT

Philadelphia has a rich history of street vending from ethnic enclaves,
including of soft pretzels, hot dogs, and even hoagies. Changing U.S laws
accelerated immigration in the 1990s and resulted in an influx of African
immigrants who transformed the economic, social and political landscapes of
West, Southwest, North and Northeast Philadelphia. Produce vending was first a
means of survival for entrepreneurs from these immigrant communities.
