ABOUT
Mobile Farmers Market & The Solid Gold Family
What we do:
As the name implies we take former transit buses and turn them into mobile farmers markets whereas people board our buses to shop as they normally do and save up to 40% on their grocery bill. The bus visits various senior residential facilities to offer groceries at a value combined with convenience, and accessibility. Since 2020 the seniors stops have been designated as private stops. We also have various government building stops that are listed as public stops whereas the general public can shop, and save. We utilize all of these stops as a fundraiser for food hampers to seniors, and veterans who cannot afford groceries, and donations to various groups, and organizations. We at the Mobile Farmers Market have been proudly saving Albertan's money since 2011.
With the global events of 2020 we had like many other businesses, and organizations had to get the word out that we were still in existence. Along with repositioning our non-profit on a dime. We approached various local forms of media including radio and were quoted very high costs to advertise with absolutely zero guarantee of return. This was the birth of our first radio station, that advertises the parent non-profit. The parent non-profit (CDOFF) acquired in 2024 a small radio broadcasting company. The Solid Gold Family was born, and today we now have 27 radio stations that are free to listen to. The Solid Gold Family emphasizes that it is more of a museum of archive music, arts, and culture. With this in mind The Solid Gold Family does much in the way of advertising, sponsoring, of events, fundraising, and LOL's Live On Locations across the province. We always try to help various small businesses, charities, and organizations get the word out about their groups, and or events they may be hosting. We also try to favor any radio host/s, and DJs that are struggling to make it by, and or are right out of school to give them and opportunity to polish their craft.
