Capital Harvest on the Plaza Returns to the Reagan Building June 4
Now in its 13th season, the downtown DC farmer’s market will continue every Friday through fall with fresh foods and artisanal treats

WASHINGTON, D.C. —Capital Harvest on the Plaza (CHoP) farmer’s market opens for its 13th season on Friday, June 4, continuing weekly through the fall with a bounty of fresh, seasonal produce and a range of delicious prepared foods.

The market takes place Fridays on Woodrow Wilson Plaza at 13th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue NW, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Visitors can browse stands from nearly a dozen local farms and artisan producers and stop by the CHoP information booth for healthy recipes and resources.

With its convenient location at the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center, CHoP is a favorite destination for nearby office workers, tourists, and DC locals. Its mission is to foster a sense of community, stimulate economic development, and improve quality of life by providing local and sustainably sourced foods and products.

“We’re so proud to open Capital Harvest on the Plaza for a 13th season,” said John P. Drew, President and CEO of TCMA (A Drew Company), the exclusive manager of Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center. “By providing a gathering place for people downtown to access farm-fresh foods and support locally made products, TCMA hopes to be part of the positive momentum driving the DC community forward.”  
The health and safety of market goers and vendors is a top priority for CHoP management, therefore some precautionary measures may remain in place. Vendors and safety protocols are subject to change. 

Capital Harvest on the Plaza is accessible via Metro through either the Federal Triangle (blue/orange/silver lines) or Metro Center (red/blue/orange/silver lines). Parking is available on-site in the Reagan Building’s underground garage. For more information and market updates, visit capitalharvestdc.com.
