The market truly delivers on a unique culinary experience with wood-fired pizza, empanadas, fresh donuts, smoothies, burritos, hot breakfast dishes, ethnic cuisines, vegan, and hearty meat dishes.- The market is conveniently located right off the Smithsonian metro station at the corner of 12th and Independence and open on Fridays at 9am to 2pm from May - Oct. There are some covered picnic tables under the tents and a really beautiful People's Garden with gorgeous flowers. I've been going to this market solo for 10 years and brought my hubby and newborn this fall! Timber Pizza - Kudos to being the longest vendor for over 10+ years at this market and hands-down my favorite! The wood-fired pizza with a pillowy crust is epic! I can't count on how many fingers and toes I've had the pizza at this market. The simple "Cheese Please" pizza with tomato sauce and the pesto-based "Green Monster" pizza with zucchini, kale, and feta cheese are bursting with flavor with a nice pillowy crust. I even order an extra pizza to take home! Call Your Mother - Scrumptious ginormous bagels. The Everything and Jalapeno Cheddar bagels are my favorite. Restaurant Piquin - The fresh squeezed OJ made with 7 oranges was refreshing! The aroma of fresh veggies grilled to perfection and watching in awe how a gigantic burrito get stuffed to the brim look so tempting! Will have to try it - next time! Claudia's Cafe Iced Blended Smoothies (sometimes at market) - Hubby enjoyed ginger pineapple banana smoothie with no added sugar. Fruits were ripe and didn't even miss the sugar! Don't miss the large demo tent! Fun way to learn about fruits and veggies and take home some complimentary produce! I learned how to check the ripeness of a pear - touch the neck near the top by the stem and look for gentle pressure (if you feel it - it's ripe!). I enjoyed taking home a few types of pears (Bartlett, Red Anjou, and Bosc). Excited to come back and try some more dishes and support local businesses!

Here's the latest and greatest vendor list from 2023: Timber Pizza - Scrumptious wood-fired pizza with a pillowy soft crust. I can't count on how many fingers and toes I've had the pizza at different farmer's markets! While the lines can get long 12:30pm, you only have to wait for 15 minutes. Taco Dirty To Me: Crispy battered cauliflower tempura tacos, bursting with flavor! Bun'd' Up - Delicious fried tofu and mushroom in squishy soft bao buns topped with microgreens, scallions, and a nice creamy aioli sauce. Light and tasty! Urban+ade - Refreshing lemonade with less sugar than classic lemonade. The Sage & Tarragon is my favorite! Veg Heaven - Decadent sweet treats, the dark chocolate cookies and brownies are the best! While the cakes are moist, they aren't as tasty. Taco Loco - Giant burritos are amazing! There's a swarm of people waiting in line, so be prepared to wait 10-15 min before ordering and then another 5 min for your order! The mango and watermelon juice are refreshing. Hipp Sippin' - Cold-pressed juices and acai bowls made to order. Ravenhook Bakery - Great selection of freshly baked loaves of bread and baked goods. DMV Empanadas - They sell out fast! While the empanadas has a nice crispy hard shell and with so many flavors to choose from, they are a bit bland and overloaded with bland cheese. The Spinach and Cheese or the Bacon and Cheese didn't quite hit the spot, hubby like the Chicken. Al Volo Cucina: While I wasn't a big fan of the greasy eggplant parm subs. I wish they brought back the fresh juices (the watermelon and mango juices) were amazing! Wonderful market with plenty of delicious and diverse options to choose from. Lines start to form between 12:30-1pm, come early!

I think this market needs a little bit more time to establish a set of people who regularly come here because when I arrive it was pretty sparse as far as vendors as well as patrons. They did have live music which was actually really good and of course there were adult beverages but aside from that, I did not see a lot of food vendors. There were a lot of vendors selling wares like soap and oils and jewelry and such. Nothing really spectacular though for an opening night. I'll be back when there are more food vendors and people overall. I was shocked that it was easy to find parking so that should have been my first sign that the party hadn't started.

Honestly, the reason I think this store is great is that it allows greater access to organic foods and foods for alternative eating lifestyles in a community that may not have the same access as others. It's perfect for my sister and I, who are vegetarians, and it's within walking distance of the main strip of Anacostia. Change has to start somewhere and this store is just the beginning. So stop in and help this business grow so it can continue to change the community from within. Check out the other stores and spaces while you're there & don't forget your reusable bag.

It's an experience generations of Washingtonians know well. Here's why you should visit: 1) Shopping: It's more a flea market than a farmers market. Most of the stands sell leather goods, household supplies, hats, etc. There are several produce stands and one where you can buy fresh corn, watermelon, etc. 2) Food: On Saturdays, a smoothie truck often sets up shop as well as Koite Grill, a beloved Senegalese restaurant. Follow the smoke to the grill and order a $15 platter of three chicken kebabs, jollof rice and grilled onions. It's delicious! 3) Parking: Since it's in a parking lot, you can always find free parking right by he market. Restrooms are nearby at The Fields of RFK as well as a large playground, fields and access to Kingman Island, a man-made park now a nature preserve with trails.

Of all the farmers markets nearby on a Saturday morning, my partner and I decided on Half Street…read more It's dog friendly and open later than most farm markets (9am-1:30pm) which were two major reasons that led us here. It's right by the Nationals stadium, as well as really great food places like Andy's pizza, sweet green, cava, Rasa, and Atlas brewery. You can truly make a whole trip and afternoon out of it. The market itself has a really nice variety, with some vendors that give out samples. Expect to find fresh local produce, homemade candles, flowers, micro greens, handmade pasta, teas made from tea masters, wild caught fish, uncured meats, raw local honey, and delicious eats on the go like empanadas, sandwiches, pastries and fresh coffee. There's also live music and places to sit in the middle of the market. Be wary of the parking situation. If you're lucky you can find some parking; if not be prepared to park far. It's also right off the green line if you decide to metro instead. Highly recommend Half Street Farmer's Market!

Whenever I pass by this stall, their kimchi is exceptionally bright red with white opaque nappa leaves which tells me everything they have is made fresh and there is a quality control. Eastern Market has a great selection of vendors, but this one in particular feels like a mini market seeing that you can get many specialty things from here. Like an Asian market, they are highly seasonal to Asian ingredients so I would come here for that! But do pay special attention to their small bites. We got their kimbap which had a glossy shine from the sesame oil. Each ingredient was well-seasoned and masterfully rolled right in its seaweed paper. Their pork skewer was also so delicious, with a great char and sweet soy marinate. So glad we turned the corner from the produce side and made it to their ready-made food selection. This is a really well rounded stall.

Curious, I strolled up toward it and was surprised to see that beneath that small white tent was a pretty large variety of produce; lots of different types of apples, gourds, pears, plus lettuce and other leafy greens - even herbs like cilantro and basil. There were a few apple samples, so I took advantage of them, as I had been curious about some varieties of apples that I had never tasted. I ended up purchasing two fuji apples, so at .99/lb, it was only $1.75 - I was very happy about this because I hadn't packed an afternoon snack, and now I'd have a tasty apple! What a great lunch surprise, after last week's EH experience! Something interesting to note as well: there was a sign behind the folks working at the market that indicated that they DO take visa and mastercard! Additionally, the market is Thursdays, 10 AM to 2 PM but I am not certain until when in the year the market will run.
