“Farmers Market SW moves to The Wharf”!

By Prince Of Petworth

From Diverse Market Management:

“Farmers Market SW will reopen at The Wharf this spring, securing a new long-term home just two blocks away at M Street Landing following a successful ten-year residency at 4th and M Street SW. The market is scheduled to reopen on Saturday, April 4, and will continue to operate weekly on Saturdays through November from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

The relocation was made possible through a partnership between The Wharf and Diverse Market Management, who worked together to ensure the market remains in Southwest and continues serving residents with access to fresh, locally sourced food.
