Summer is right around the corner and most farmer’s markets are out in full swing. There are enough of them out there to visit one everyday, but why not add a few more to your list?

Bloomingdale’s Farmer’s Market is set to open on June 17th (Father’s Day) and run every Sunday through November 18th, 10 a.m. – 2 p.m., rain or shine. It will be located in the heart of the Bloomingdale neighborhood, on 1st and R in NW, next Big Bear Café. Both the cafe (which aims to be open by the market start date) and the Bloomingdale blog have covered the soon-to-be market, which will be producers-only.

A few reasons you might want to visit this one: in addition to the usual array of fruits and veggies they will also sell honey, eggs, grass-fed pork, and “so much more.” They also donate produce to Bread for the City, a program that provides nutritious groceries and social services to almost 5,000 D.C. households each month. One other aspect to note is that they will try to make this market accessible to all by accepting WIC and CSFP checks.
