FRESHFARM is a mid-sized nonprofit based in Washington, DC, focused on creating a more resilient, equitable, and sustainable local food system. It pursues practical solutions to critical regional food-system challenges and connects people to their food through hands-on education, farmers markets, and food distribution programs. Its work supports communities seeking improved access to fresh, locally produced foods, and it collaborates with partners across the food system to expand markets and distribution. Notable recent developments include the launch of the MedStar Georgetown FRESHFARM Rx Program in 2024 and a 2026 partnership with Eat & Smile Catering to pair local cheeses with bites made from ingredients grown by FRESHFARM farmers. The organization traces its origins to a Mount Vernon Triangle farm stand started in 2013, which has since evolved into a community hub in Washington, DC.
