Amelia Posted September 4, 2009 Posted September 4, 2009 Detroit tries peddling produce like ice cream Quote: Experts call Detroit a food desert: More than half of its residents must travel at least twice as far to reach the nearest grocery store as they do to a fast-food restaurant or convenience store. Many shop at liquor stores and corner markets that carry few, if any, fresh fruits and vegetables.

Members phkrause Posted September 4, 2009 Members Posted September 4, 2009 That's interesting Amelia. When I first moved up to Lancaster, MA there was this guy that used to come around all the time, selling fresh produce, from his van. So this haas been done before. pk Quote phkrause When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan. Proverbs 29;2
Amelia Posted September 4, 2009 Author Posted September 4, 2009 When I was traveling the UK, I saw lots of mini lorries in the smaller villages doing the same thing. Though almost all the little "catch all" shops offered bananas and apples.

Members phkrause Posted September 4, 2009 Members Posted September 4, 2009 Yeah, I can remember when visiting family in germany they had them too. Also milk trucks. But that's been a while ago. Wonder it that's still happen today? pk Quote phkrause When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan. Proverbs 29;2
GreatLakesGramma Posted September 4, 2009 Posted September 4, 2009 Where my husband was working yesterday, an Amish man set up his things to sell produce on the corner. So husband bought peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini, peaches, and a small watermelon. Quote Catherine God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. Psalm 73:26.

Amelia Posted September 4, 2009 Author Posted September 4, 2009 That's awesome. I didn't know the Amish did that.

GreatLakesGramma Posted September 4, 2009 Posted September 4, 2009 They do it all the time around here, where they are scattered throughout the rural community. They may sell at the farmers' markets too, but I haven't been to the local one, so I don't know if they do. They do in PA. Quote Catherine God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.

Administrators Gail Posted September 4, 2009 Administrators Posted September 4, 2009 Yes, if I lived in the city I'd partake. I think it's WAY better than the ice-cream man! Quote Isaiah 32:17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.
