Tomorrow is April 1, more than one month since the start of meteorological spring. There are plenty of milestones for the seasonal switch-over like baseball's opening day, packing winter jackets away, and blooming cherry blossoms. Another welcome sign: the return of outdoor farmers' markets to DC neighborhoods.
Mount Pleasant's market won't start for a few more weeks days, but the Penn Quarter Freshfarm Market reopens this Thursday, April 3, 2014. The PQ Market is located on 8th St NW between D and E Sts. The dates this year are Thursdays, April 3 - December 18. The hours are 3PM - 7PM. It's easily accessible from Mount P via 42 bus or Green &Yellow Lines (Archives).
