We look forward to welcoming a diverse group of local vendors to the NoMa Farmers Market at Alethia Tanner Park each week. If you’re interested in becoming a vendor at the NoMa Farmers Market, visit Diverse Markets Management’s website.
Hey NoMa and Eckington Neighbors: Good news when it comes to getting your weekly fix of fresh fruits and veggies. Every Thursday evening from May 4 to October 19, the NoMa Farmers Market will be serving up plenty of farm fresh produce and local groceries from 4-8 p.m. at Alethia Tanner Park.
The NoMa BID is proud to partner with Diverse Markets Management to bring this new, convenient shopping experience for fresh food options to the neighborhood. It’s a particularly poignant way to pay tribute to the park’s namesake, Alethia Tanner, a formerly enslaved woman who was able to purchase her freedom and the freedom of others by selling produce herself from a stand just a few miles away at Lafayette Park.
