The much discussed FRESHFARM Market, By the White House kicks off its first day in operation this afternoon. DDOT sent out a reminder that Vermont Ave. NW between H and I Streets will be closed from 1 p.m. until 8 p.m. today, but keep in mind that the market itself only runs from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. – the extra time built in is for setting up and taking down the stands. The market, which is open rain or shine, will continue every Thursday afternoon through October 29. Expect the usual FRESHFARM market fair: meats, cheeses, fresh fruits and vegetables, breads, flowers, and the like.
