Del Ray Farmers' Market Voted Best in D.C. Region

The Del Ray Farmers’ Market is the best market in the D.C. area, according to a recent vote on the WTOP website.

The year-round market, located at the corner of Mt. Vernon and E. Oxford Avenues, is open from 8 a.m. to noon on Saturdays.

Longtime neighborhood resident Pat Miller founded the market in 1994.

The market launched a website in June.
