“New NoMa Farmers Market Opens Thursday, May 5th!”

Between Harry Thomas Way NE & The Metropolitan Branch Trail via NoMa BID

From an email:

“We’re so excited to launch the new NoMa Farmers Market at Alethia Tanner Park every Thursday (3-7PM) during the months of May through September. The NoMa BID is proud to partner with Diverse Markets Management to bring this new, convenient shopping experience for fresh food options to the neighborhood – and to welcoming this diverse group of local vendors:

• A Contemporary Market Bakery
• Al Volo
• ASHTON FARMS LLC.
• Atlixcos Grill
• Believe N Bread
• Chippin
• Fahrenheit99 & Co.
• Frutika Rika
• Everybody’s Juice
• Panorama Baking Co
• Paste & Rind
• Spicy Water African Grill
• Seasoned Spice
• YEHT CO

We think that this modern-day farmers market is a particularly fitting way to pay tribute to the park’s namesake, Alethia Tanner, a formerly enslaved woman who was able to purchase her freedom and the freedom of others by selling produce herself from a stand just a few miles away at Lafayette Park.”
