Capella Washington, D.C., Georgetown is launching a new farmers’ market in partnership with Northern Neck Farm, a Virginia-based operation with more than 50 years of agricultural experience. The market will run on the second and fourth Saturday of August and September from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., welcoming both hotel guests and local residents to shop for fresh seasonal produce.
Set at the hotel entrance, the Capella farmers’ market reflects the hotel’s focus on sustainability and locally sourced ingredients. Under executive chef Frank Ruta, the Grill Room emphasizes a seasonal menu that draws on products from nearby and regional farms, reinforcing the property’s commitment to responsible sourcing.
Shoppers can expect a variety of fresh vegetables and fruits along with baked goods such as warm pastries and jars of raw, hand-filled honey. Farmers and producers will be on hand to offer growing tips, cooking suggestions and insights about the origin of their products, creating an engaging experience for anyone interested in food, farming or culinary techniques.
The market provides an opportunity to support regional agriculture while enjoying high-quality, freshly harvested items. Its location at the hotel entrance makes it easy for guests to browse before or after dining at the Grill Room, and for neighbors to stop by on weekend mornings.
This initiative complements Capella’s broader approach to sustainability and thoughtful sourcing. By highlighting trusted local suppliers like Northern Neck Farm, the hotel aims to strengthen community ties, reduce food miles and showcase ingredients at the peak of their season.
Whether you are seeking ingredients to prepare at home or looking for inspiration for a meal at the hotel, the Capella farmers’ market offers a curated selection of fresh products and knowledgeable vendors. The combination of seasonal produce, artisan goods and direct access to the people who grow the food creates a relaxed, informative atmosphere ideal for food lovers and families.
Mark your calendar for the second and fourth Saturdays of August and September from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Capella Washington, D.C., Georgetown entrance for a chance to discover fresh, locally grown food and connect with the region’s farming community.
