My favorite DC farmers' market and so glad it survived the pandemic. There's an impressive diverse…read moreselection of 10-15 vendors with a few new rotating vendors each week. 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!

This is a nice year round market. During the winter it's hosted under the Gay St. Bridge, which is…read moreless aesthetically pleasing but I appreciate the vendors commitment to showing up. During the peak season it's held out on the trail along the creek which is really beautiful. Good mix of vendors: cheese, bread, meat, eggs, produce, some fully prepared goods and beer. During the winter its 10-12 instead of 9-12.

Good Selection of all kinds of foods...as well as local goods. Always a good experience…read more. Highly recommended 2 Thumbs Up
