FRESHFARM, FRESHGREEN!

Every Sunday, rain or shine, at the 1500 block of 20th street, between Massachusetts Avenue and Q street in Dupont, FRESHFARM holds a farmer's market that has been rated by The Wall Street Journal and The Financial Times of London as one of the best in the nation.

During the peak season, there are are more than 30 farmers offering an array of vegetables, fruits, cheeses, meat, poultry, fish, fruit pies, breads, fresh pastas, cut flowers, potted plants and organic hand soaps and products.

This is a great opportunity for residents of the community to come and support their local farmers. Not only this but it also helps to reduce the pollution caused by transportation of produce. The less distance the produce must travel, the less amount of gas it will emit. These produce are also all organic, containing less pesticides and harmful chemicals mostly found in produce of larger corporate farms in grocery stores. So go out and take your family or friend to the market!
