Farmers' Markets Come out of Hibernation

One of the best things about spring is the return of some of D.C.'s favorite farmers markets. Below, we've compiled a list of all the Fresh Farms farmers' markets opening dates.

For the 2014 season, three of the markets (Penn Quarter, Foggy Bottom and Ballston) will offer CSA's, or Community Supported Agriculture, which is essentially a purchase in the share of a farm for the run of the season.  More information on CSAs is available here.

For more information on the Fresh Farm farmers' markets including recipes, good causes and the Fresh Farm's mission, visit their website here.
