FRESHFARM MVT Market Continues to be a Safe Place to Shop During Cyclospora Outbreak

Friday August 7, 2026

A few weeks ago, we (along with WUSA9) told you about the health and safety benefits of purchasing your produce at farmers markets. Last week, the Wall Street Journal* published an article on America’s lettuce crisis, featuring our local partner FRESHFARM which reported a 30% increase in foot traffic across all its DC markets.

This National Farmer’s Market Week, be part of the movement to source your food locally and stop by FRESHFARM MVT Market on Saturday from 9am-1pm. Grab your produce, a breakfast sandwich, dog treats, and more at the corner of 5th & I Streets NW this weekend and every Saturday, rain or shine!
