With a healthier alternative to an ice cream truck, the owner of Black Cat Organic Farm, Erik Skokan, is planting the seeds of hope.

As a vegan, can I just say that a roaming produce truck is something I never knew I always needed? I hope to see more local businesses adopt this model.

“Everything is different, but the core part [of my business] that feeds my soul is still happening,” said Skokan.
