We ran into this food truck (a converted school bus) in LeDroit Park last night, parked next to the new playground adjacent to Common Good City Farm. The farm is based out of Alexandria near Ft. Belvoir, and the Mobile Market is an outreach to traditionally under-served areas around DC. You can read much more about the overall mission and locations/schedules on their site:

Some of the produce looked a little wilted (may had spent too much time out in the sun), but a lot of it was undoubtedly fresh. What is not sourced from the Arcadia farm comes from other nearby suppliers. In fact Common Good is one of the suppliers, a hundred feet or so from where it's grown! We didn't have any money with us, but will be back next week to sample their wares.
