MAP's mobile market extends selling season

 The Massachusetts Avenue Project’s Mobile Market is having its most successful season ever and is extending its selling period through Nov. 19.
 Tyler Manley, director of the Mobile Market, said the seasonal produce has been selling out weekly from the farm stand at 389 Massachusetts Ave. As of Oct. 1, the organization had had 1,300 customers since May.
 The Mobile Market has used grant money to purchase a refrigerated truck to use for next season.
 “Next year we plan on doing a lot more because having a truck is really going to change everything,” Manley said.
 The Mobile Market is open from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Thursdays and Fridays and from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturdays. By Mike Meiler and Julia Merulla
