Pop-Up Food Hub

These innovative programs create positive change across the local food system: they create economic opportunities for local growers, improve food access for those in need, and strengthen our regional food economy.

Buy local produce with us:

• Nonprofit Organizations: Clients can either place orders for bulk produce or individually packed bags. For non-profit organizations, we offer wholesale pricing, no markups, and a flat $5 delivery fee.
• Restaurants & Commercial Clients: Clients can either place orders for bulk produce or individually packed bags. For commercial and restaurant clients, we offer wholesale pricing, a flat $5 delivery fee, and a 10% handling fee, which helps support our non-profit partners.
• Individuals and Families: The FRESHFARM Market Share, which is similar to a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) offers a hand-packed bag of seasonal fruit and veggies in both a Personal and Family size with convenient weekly pick-ups . It’s a flexible and convenient way to enjoy an abundant variety of the best our local farmers have to offer.

We prioritize working with farmers who:

• Grow food within 200 miles of the Washington, DC region (see map below)
• Are considered small and mid-size
• Are traditionally under-represented, including Black and Brown farmers, first-generation farmers, and women-owned farms
• Share our values, including prioritizing the needs of our community, our climate and our land

We prioritize serving partners that:

• 

  Have traditionally been excluded from wholesale channels because their order size may not be big enough to qualify for wholesale pricing, like early child care centers, senior centers, and health clinics (see map below)

• Are helping address issues related to systemic racism that for too long have left our Black and Brown neighbors without access to reliable and affordable local produce
• Believe that buying local food supports our farmers, our food system, and our community
