Food Mill Markets
Our Mobile Market
Our mission of preventing and reducing disease in our community means making sure everyone has routine access to local, nutritional food. We meet our neighbors where they are by bringing produce to areas of high food insecurity, such as senior or housing authority communities.
21% of our community reports food insecurity, and 12% report limited access to Healthy Food, according to the 2019 Muscogee County Community Health Assessment, Georgia Department of Public Health. Thanks to our partners at Feeding the Valley Food Bank, our mobile market operates out of a 26-foot refrigerated truck that allows us to keep food items fresh while being distributed.
SNAP benefits are accepted, and customers may purchase produce for double the value through the Georgia Fresh for Less Program, a unique opportunity not made available in traditional stores to incentive healthy eating.
Want to become a site location for our mobile market? Do you work or live in a community that is nutrition insecure? We’d love to hear from you! Please email Shannon Jefferson at shannonjefferson@thefoodmill.org.

In-store Farmers Market
By collaborating with Mercymed Farm’s Farmstand Fridays, we’re able to sell produce weekly to the entire community. Come buy our Georgia grown produce, soaps, milk, yogurts, microgreens and more!

Accepting new vendors!
Come shop with us in our brick and mortar farmers market, open five days a week from 7:30am-5:30pm! Our market shares a space with our café and serves as a resource to local farmers and entrepreneurs by taking the burden off farmers to manage retail and allows them to focus on farming. Local farmers, food producers, and entrepreneurs are invited to sell and may contact us for more information on vendor information.
The Food Mill Pantry

Our Food Mill pantry is intended to provide short-term assistance to those living in the Truth Spring & North Highland community. Customers can expect a variety of shelf-stable food items. Please bring your own bag or cart if possible. New customers are required to fill out brief basic paperwork including contact information, household number, etc. Customers can also purchase fresh, local produce from The Food Mill Mobile Market Truck; SNAP/EBT payment are accepted. Those shopping without SNAP/EBT but still live in the North Highland community are still eligibile for discounts. We look forward to meeting you!
