The new and improved Eastern Market building roof. It’s spiffy! and newly reopened in June, following the fire that destroyed it in 2007.

happy earth day April 22nd, 2009
Happy Earth Day, my fellow earthlings. Mmmm look at all the delicious greens at the Dupont Circle farmers market…
Well, it’s grey outside again this morning – the third day of rain and random thunderstorms in a row – but by this afternoon and especially tomorrow, the world should be sunny and green once again.
Last year this time, we were talkin’ plastic bags, riding bikes, and Delaware.

so…anyone know how to start a farmer’s market?? December 5th, 2008
In an effort to become more involved in the world around me I have volunteered to help the NoMa BID with their effort to start a small farmer’s market by summer 2009. They are currently envisioning a small market (5-6 vendors) that will be located somewhere near Union Station which will have the ability to expand with time and eventually move further to the north towards the New York Avenue metro station once that part of town (where Constitution Square is located) develops the critical mass of residents and workers.
The photo above is taken at Eastern Market in Capital Hill DC which is by all accounts the creme dela creme of farmer’s markets in Washington (don’t those apples look delicious?). I have discovered more than 20 smaller markets that are active through out the District at various times of the year which was more than I expected. The currently theoretical NoMa Farmers Market would operate one day per week and would either run through the lunch hour or at the end of the day. What time/date do you think would be best for this? If any one of our loyal readers happens to know anyone with ties to running farmers markets please send me their way. Right now I’m just learning as much as I can about how these markets are typically set up and funded, and any insight would be helpful!
Yay produce!
