Freshness is heading to the Quad Cities. The Fruit Truck, a popular mobile market known for delivering orchard-direct produce across the country, has officially included Davenport, Iowa, and Moline, Illinois on its upcoming delivery route.

What Makes the Fruit Truck Different?

The philosophy behind The Fruit Truck is simple: "If you want it any fresher, you’ll have to pick it yourself."

While store-bought apples can sometimes be up to a year old, and other fruits are often sprayed with preservatives to survive long journeys, The Fruit Truck focuses on a "farm-to-table" speed. Their offerings change by the season—ranging from Georgia peaches and Michigan blueberries to Washington cherries and Florida citrus—ensuring that customers get the best of what is currently being harvested.

Tips for Your Visit

If you’re planning to head out to the truck in Davenport or Moline, here are a few things to keep in mind:

• Payment: The Fruit Truck accepts Cash and Cards at the time of pickup (no checks are accepted).
• Don't Call the Host: The delivery locations are graciously provided by local businesses. They do not have information on the truck’s status or inventory, so all questions should be directed to The Fruit Truck via their website or Facebook page.
• Quality Guarantee: Because the products are perishable and subject to Mother Nature, all sales are final. Customers are encouraged to inspect their fruit at the truck before leaving.
• Preparation: Bringing your own boxes or bags can be helpful for transporting large quantities of fruit home.
