June 3 | FRESHFARM ACM Farm Stand
The FRESHFARM ACM Farm Stand is kicking off the inaugural farm stand season in 2023. It is the only direct-to-consumer farm stand of its kind East of the River in Ward 8. The FRESHFARM ACM Farm Stand takes place on the outdoor plaza of the Smithsonian's Anacostia Community Museum (1901 Fort Place, SE Washington, DC 20020) every Saturday (10 a.m. to 2 p.m.) from April 22- November 18, 2023, weather permitting.
The farm stand will offer FreshMatch, FRESHFARM's incentive program, which provides a dollar-to-dollar match on all federal benefits (WIC and Senior and WIC FMNP) spent at the stand, helping shoppers take home more fresh and nutritious produce and local foods. The farm stand will also accept Produce Plus, a benefit program unique to Washington, DC, which provides locally grown, fresh produce to District residents with limited access to fresh, healthy food.
Barajas Produce will supply the FRESHFARM ACM Farm Stand with their own homegrown produce and additional fruits and vegetables that they aggregate from neighboring farms.
