According to the Washington Post, the Farmer’s Market on Vermont between McPherson and Lafayette Squares has been approved, which is great news. It opens next week, so now’s the time to find a sturdy bag to protect your veggies on the way home. The even cooler news is that food stamps, WIC, and Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Coupons will have double value at this market. While I observe that there are plenty of fresh produce bargains to be had at farmers’ markets already, this is a great step in making healthier food habits more accessible to our low-income neighbors.
