The Jacksonville Food Truck Association (JAXFTA) unites Jacksonville’s top street food vendors, a carefully selected and diverse group of culinary professionals serving the greater Jacksonville area.
We believe food brings people together, which is why we connect Jacksonville residents with our members for unique food truck catering experiences, while actively advocating to preserve and protect the city’s iconic street food culture.

Advocacy and Empowerment
The Jacksonville Food Truck Association helps local food truck businesses in two unique and impactful ways.
First, JAXFTA connects our vendors with new business opportunities through event catering and other revenue streams. Founded by Ben Goldberg, a former food truck owner familiar with the challenges of unpredictable street sales, the association is designed to keep vendors busy and in demand throughout the year. These catering opportunities help our members grow and expand their businesses.
Second, JAXFTA invests significant time and resources advocating with city and state governments for our members and the wider food truck community. We monitor any policy changes, rules, or regulations that impact our vendors, responding promptly and effectively. With extensive industry knowledge, JAXFTA ensures that local mobile businesses have a strong and recognized voice.
