Farmers markets also offer residents an opportunity to connect with farmers in their area and to learn more about where their food comes from and how it’s produced. Below is a list of organizations that either host farmers markets, are local urban farms that sell at farmers markets, organizations that advocate for DC farmers markets or programs that offer food assistance that can be used at markets.
