#LifeInMVT Photo of the Week: Teamwork Makes the Market Open!

Friday February 6, 2026

Now this is what we call the power of partnership! Through quick response and fast collaboration among FRESHFARM, MVT CID, and our District government partners, our FRESHFARM MVT Market was able to be just one of three FRESHFARM markets — and the only one in DC — to open last Saturday. And as we outlined last week, this was a major win for our Mount Vernon Triangle community for two reasons:

  1. We provided a space for local and regional farmers and producers to sell their (often perishable!) products — including welcoming vendors like Ben’s Produce from other markets for this weekend only.
  2. As important, members of our community that rely on the market for consistent equitable food access at low-to-no-cost were still able to do so.

Thank you once again to everyone who made last Saturday’s market possible and for all of you who braved the cold to come out and support it. We hope to see even more friendly faces this week at the corner of 5th & I Streets NW from 9am-1pm!
