Riverfront Farmers Market

The new Capitol Riverfront Market, offering fresh
produce and locally prepared foods, will open Thursday, May 6th and operate from 3 pm
to 7 pm weekly through November at the intersection of New Jersey Ave., SE & M St.,
SE, adjacent to the Navy Yard Metro (New Jersey Ave exit). Entrance to the market is
on M St., SE.

Every Thursday, the Capitol Riverfront will provide a festive marketplace with
over ten local farmers and vendors selling fresh fruits and vegetables, breads and
baked goods, herbs and spices, pickles, olive oil, jams, honey, desserts, flowers,
prepared foods and more. The fresh food market is presented by the Capitol Riverfront
Business Improvement District and Diverse Markets Management, in partnership with
The Donohoe Company.

"The goal of this new market is to feature fresh produce and locally prepared foods,
create awareness of local specialty products, and emphasize the importance of
supporting local farmers,” explains the market manager, Mike Berman. "The Capitol
Riverfront Market will be the perfect place to buy items for a fresh summer dinner, or for
packing a picnic to take to Thursday outdoor movies in Canal Park and to a Nationals
baseball game"
