Farmers' Market Shopping

The DC metro area is home to over 160 farmers' markets.  Many Potomac students say that their families try to eat more sustainably by shopping at their local market as often as possible.  With so many options, there is a market reasonably close to almost every neighborhood!

I happen to be a huge fan of my local farmers' market.  Located in the center of downtown Bethesda, the Bethesda farmers' market is bustling every Sunday morning.  Below are the names of my favorite vendors.
