Red Apron Butchery was on hand with samples of their awesome pastrami and other charcuterie. They'll be at the first market of every month and may come more often depending on demand.
Dolcezza Gelato was there as well. They have a variety of creative, market-driven gelato and sorbetti made with fresh, seasonal produce. They will also be there for the first Saturday of each month.
Overall, the market was well-attended and a great deal of fun. Dangerously Delicious Pies was on hand with single serving size pies and there was another farm with various meats from Pennsylvannia that we thought might be new as well.
Many people took advantage of the opportunity to drop by Metro Mutts and Sidamo while they were out on the western end of H Street. Nouveau Fleur seemed to draw some interest as well, though it was closed when we passed through. Like the rest of the H Street Corridor, the Farmers' market seemed to have really come a long way over the past year.
The H Street FreshFarm Farmers' Market is every Sunday from 9 am - 12 noon at 625 H Street NE.

You must be new to the market.They had Dolcezza gelato last year, and there are no new farmers this year...at least yet.
ReplyDeleteI bought ribs and sausages from Cedarbrook Farms on Saturday. Grilled them that day and they were amazing.
ReplyDeleteCedarbrook Farms also has the best eggs available in the city.
ReplyDeleteis it just me or the opening but were there a lot more people than last year?
ReplyDeleteThere certainly were a lot more people at the 9am opening bell. I don't know about later. Maybe people were early because it was going to be hot. I was a bit shocked to see Eleanor Holmes Norton there, I have never seen her north of East Capitol,... ever.
ReplyDeleteIt was packed between 10 and 11 too. I thought it was a great sign of all the progress that H Street made this year, but I didn't go to the first market last year, so maybe the first one is always the most popular.
ReplyDeleteI must add, since I reside in the area, the Florida Avenue market at Florida and NY Ave, also offers an arrage of foods and butcher meats. It's a bit underfunded, but offers an assortment of foods.
