In reply to Rich. After getting disgruntled due to lockdowns, I am also planning to start my mobile vegetable shop in the huge metropolitan city of Karachi. Please pray for my success.

To all those that asked about the plans for this…. This mobile produce stand was constructed by Eliot Coleman at Four Season Farm in Maine. He did not build it to sell plans. He built it to sell vegetables! From the book I can tell you that it was built on a 5’x8′ flat bed trailer. Most of the building materials are recycled from the farm. Old wooden doors were used to close up the sides in the original. Awning is homemade from cloth and attached to metal pipe. Original roof was single layers of pine clapboard for weight reduction. He mentions that the original ideas for it were “scribbled on odd pieces of paper.”

He talks about how it is built and has pictures in his book “The New Organic Grower”. You may be able to find more about it by searching with that info. Sorry I can’t help more.

Anyone know where you’d get canopies like these and costs and durability from wind damage when traveling?

In reply to John Voice. You absolutely should not be ashamed to ask for compensation for your hard work. What a rude and ridiculous comment Dale.

In reply to Dale wing.

There are no plans – it was built and later modified without any formal design – basically notes on a napkin, which intelligent people are able to do. Yours is an ignorant comment apparently based on envy, not facts. Eliot Coleman is one of the most generous farmers one might hope to meet, but he does, in fact, get paid for his knowledge. You may have never enjoyed that privilege, but it’s not an uncommon business model among people who actually have valuable ideas.
