Gorgeous color photos of baskets of fresh produce and cooked dishes illustrate the market that serves both the lunch crowd in D.C., as well as residents wishing to support the regional farmer.

White House Market Included In USDA Searchable Database Of Farmers Markets

Michelle Obama Visits New Farmers Market In Washington DC

The Fresh Farm Farmers Market just two blocks from the White House is already listed in the USDA searchable database where consumers can search by state for a market near their home.

However, there are dozens that might need to be included and the government is asking people to fill out an online form to submit their Farmers Market before June 4, 2010.

Anyone can add a listing, but obviously it’s best if a manager or otherwise important person who runs the market does this to ensure your area farmers get the maximum exposure.

Besides the location, the database also tells if the market accepts government assistance programs for the needy, such as WIC and the Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program.

Michelle Obama Visits New Farmers Market In Washington DC

The White House Farmer’s Market opened this weekend and drew a good crowd, even during the rain and cold, according to grist.com.

First Lady Michelle Obama made an appearance and was happy the turnout was so good.

“I’ve never seen so many people so excited about fruits and vegetables!” Michelle said.

Wonder if anyone asked her to sign a carrot?

“A farmer’s market is not just about vegetables, it’s about community,” Michelle added.

The First Lady was the first customer and chose produce from The Farm at Sunnyside, an organic producer from Rappahannock, Virginia.

No mention of Mr. Obama attending the Farmer’s Market.

Maybe he was out for another burger run.

The Farmer’s Market will run until October 29.

A permit was approved this week for the nonprofit Fresh Farm Markets to close Vermont Avenue Northwest between H and I Streets in order to clear the way for a Farmer’s Market near the President’s home.

The market opens next week on September 17 and will run until October 29.

It’s not certain whether the Obamas will make an appearance at the markets, but Sam Kass, an assistant chef at the White House has showed up at a community meeting recently to show support.

Last August, Barack Obama said he wanted to get a farmer’s market near the White House.

One initiative passed, many more to go.
