FRESHFARM Markets is a nonprofit organization building a vibrant local food movement in the greater metro DC area that supports our region’s farmers, protects threatened farmland and creates a new urban-rural partnership. The mission of FRESHFARM Markets is to connect city dwellers with farmers and their locally-grown food, educate the public about food and farming issues and to provide vital economic opportunities for farmers. All of the five FRESHFARM farmers’ markets are producer-only which means that farmers/producers must grow, raise, catch or produce what they bring to market. The markets provide an opportunity to have important dialogue about why local food is critical for our health, communities and land. The flagship market opened in Dupont Circle in 1997, and has been named one of the top farmers' markets in the United States by both the Wall Street Journal and the Financial Times of London.
