Farmers Market Comes To The White House

by Missy on Thursday, September 17th, 2009

Obama 2008

President Obama has been granted a wish. To “have a little farmers market near the White House”.

An outdoor farmers market will be held every Thursday from September 17th till October 29 and will carry veggies, fruits, meat, eggs, cheese and baked goods. The White House market will be organized by non-profit group Fresh Farm Markets and will be open to the public. President Obama says this is not only a great way for residents to have access to good local food, but also become a huge source of revenue for local farmers.

If I lived anywhere near DC, I would totally patronize the White House farmer’s market. Kudos to the Obama’s for encouraging healthy eating.

  • I went to the opening yesterday - President Obama wasn't actually there, as the picture indicates, but his wife did attend, alongside Tom Vilsack. Cool to see her there shopping like a normal person, but the security outside the tents was aggravating, and it was raining so everyone was getting soaked standing in line. I just wanted to buy a few apples, for Pete's sake. I'll go back when there's less of a media circus in tow.
  • Oh, I forgot to mention, interested people should be aware that this was NOT, I repeat, NOT a project of the White House. It is not a White House Farmer's Market. This is an independently run Farmer's Market and has no relationship to the Obama White House. It just happens to be located two blocks away. Just thought I'd clarify for anyone who's reading.
