Though they can still be found in most communities, truck farmers who sell produce door-to-door are much less common than they once were. Most grow small plots of vegetables for family use and sell the extra. This farmer from Wayne County was selling mustard greens in Ludowici and began the day with a truckload. When I photographed him, he was nearly sold out. He noted that he doesn’t use chemicals and composts with manure.
Wish we had someone like that around here… Great post Brian!

Nice photographs, and thanks for sharing your work.
Great post, Brian. In my day, some of them also followed a route, paying visits to regular customers. Perhaps this developed after the larger players driving grocery and general merchandise trucks ceased.
