May 8, 2020 by FHC 7 Comments

The UDC Van Ness farmers market’s May 2nd return was a soft opening of sorts – shorter hours, fewer vendors. The May 9th market sees the return of the usual 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. hours and the return of familiar produce sellers, including G. Flores Produce. New this season: The location in front of […]

Market Finds: A popular winter squash is a summer harvest

January 10, 2020 by FHC Leave a Comment

A month ago, we learned how the farmers market that comes to Sheridan School every Saturday (and some Tuesdays) from June through March manages to produce spring and summer greens in the cold of winter. New Morning Farm’s first newsletter of the new year reveals another trick of the trade: A fall and winter delicacy […]

Market Finds: Winter greens grown in ‘tunnels’

December 4, 2019 by FHC 1 Comment

by Marlene Berlin While shopping recently at the New Morning Farm market at Sheridan School, I overheard them describe growing greens in a “tunnel.” My vision of an underground bunker with lights was soon dispelled in my telephone conversation with Jim Crawford, who for more than 40 years has owned and operated this certified-organic farm […]

Market Finds: Pumpkins – not just for jack o’ lanterns and pies

October 31, 2019 by FHC 2 Comments

by Jenn Krasilovsky and Andrea Gudeon Pumpkins — whether baked in a pie, flavoring a latte, or perched on your front porch on the last night of October — are a popular sign of the season. But this versatile fall vegetable should also have a starring role on your dinner plate. Many of the hundreds […]

Market Finds: Think beyond lettuce for a fresh seasonal salad

September 24, 2019 by FHC Leave a Comment

by Andrea Gudeon If a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound? What is the sound of one hand clapping? Is a salad a salad without lettuce? Okay, maybe this last one isn’t yet one of the great philosophical riddles of our time, but […]

Sometimes, the farmers at the Van Ness farmers market are UDC researchers

July 26, 2019 by FHC Leave a Comment

by Mamatha Hanumappa If you are a regular visitor to the Van Ness farmers market, it is very likely that you do not need an introduction to the University of the District of Columbia. But did you know that UDC is a land-grant university in the heart of DC? Yes, UDC is the only urban […]

The perfect tomato at New Morning Farm market

June 28, 2019 by FHC Leave a Comment

by Marlene Berlin Compari and Kumato tomatoes get me through the winter. At least, they try. But there is nothing like biting into that first big, bright red perfect tomato from the farmers market…. one that not so long ago was straight off the vine. It looks like all those beautiful but tasteless ones you […]

Find greens for your fridge AND your garden at the UDC farmers market

June 1, 2017 by FHC

by Marlene Berlin This is for all you backyard, balcony and window sill gardeners. At the UDC farmers market last Saturday, it was the variegated sage in a friend’s box that caught my eye. She showed me where to find it. I got some herbs and flowering plants. The selection and price were great – […]
