Every Friday from 4pm to 8pm, UDC CAUSES hosts a farmers market at UDC’s Lamond-Riggs campus, 5171 South Dakota Avenue NE. Enter parking lot off Galloway Street NE.

UDC is still accepting vendors for the market. If you are interested in vending, complete UDC’s Farmers Market Vendor Interest Form. For more info, contact the Farmers Market Manager Andy Blunk at andrew.blunk@udc.edu or call 202-274-7124.

For the first market on August 15, UDC had three food vendors along with a small produce stand. There was a nice turnout for the first market. I arrived at the market around 5:30ish. Some of the produce like tomatoes had already sold out. Chauna Price, the soil manager at UDC’s Lamond-Riggs urban food hub who oversees the stand, said that they hope to increase the produce offerings in the coming weeks.

The food vendors were pretty good, selling a variety of food like Peruvian dumplings and fried rice by Misky Wasy, empanadas and pastries by Sweet & Salty Bakery, and Colombian fruity treats by Fruity Side. It is nice to be able to pick up some eats and then walk across the street for the weekly Fridays at Fort Totten concert series at 6 pm.

Join your neighbors and support the new neighborhood farmers market at UDC Lamond-Riggs campus every Friday 4pm-8pm through December.
