As more and more farmers markets appear in neighborhoods throughout the area, some farmers struggle to keep up with the demand, and market managers devise new ways to keep customers coming back.
As the localized food movement picks up steam, city dwellers have to get creative in order to jump on board. Luckily, the D.C. region is fairly ahead of the curve when it comes to one component that provides fresh, local produce – the farmers market. These markets are so prolific both inside and just outside the district that even tiny Georgetown has two of its own – the Georgetown Farmers Market and the Glover Park-Burleith Farmers’ Market. But the surge in farmers markets has created a new dynamic for farmers and vendors, and some have even seen a decrease in sales. Bob Wollam owns the flower garden Wollam Gardens in Jeffersonton, Va., and sells cut flowers to area markets and stores. He said he’s noticed a drop in sales at farmers …

At Wednesday's market, University students and faculty enjoyed fresh cut flowers, crisp baguettes, loose leaf teas and spicy salsas.
This week, Georgetown University held its first and only market of the season. Funded by over 5,000 in grants from the Georgetown University Student Association and Re-Imagine Georgetown, yesterday's farmers market was a test run that organizers hope will become a regular weekly event starting in fall of 2011. If long lines and full shopping bags are an indicator of success, it looks like the market will be back in the fall. To check for updates you can visit their facebook page. If you have comments, questions, or want to support the market, send a note to gu.farmersmarket@gmail.com.

Rose Park Farmers' Market vendor tries to keep her Belgian food accessible.
Joelle Coats is a determined woman. Once the Rose Park Farmers' Market reached its final Wednesday of the season at the end of last October, Coats, owner of Les Caprice de Joelle, was the only vendor who devised a way for her food to be offered to Georgetowners after the final week. Convinced that people weren't ready to part with her authentic Belgian specialties and widely popular paella, she arranged for her food to be available for pick-up at Jean Pierre Antiques (26th and P St.) during the same day and time as the market. The idea was to have people call or email their order forms at any point throughout the week, and on Wednesdays from 3 to 6 p.m., Coats would be ready with her soups, turnovers, crepes, paella and most notably, her …
