New Morning Farm

Our market at the Sheridan School is a countryside farm stand conveniently located in Washington, DC. Our flagship market features the best of the PA-DC foodshed: a wide variety of freshly harvested, seasonal produce from our own farm and our neighbors’ farms and orchards, freshly-cut flowers, honey and jams, free-range brown eggs, maple syrup, cider, homemade baked goods, local cheeses, and freshly baked bread. Recent additions include sauerkraut made by The Sweet Farm and coffee, from Standing Stone Coffee Company, which is locally roasted on the Friday before market. The Sheridan School is two blocks west of Connecticut Ave in NW DC in Van Ness (36th St and Alton St). There is ample street parking and easily metro accessible (Red Line, Van Ness or Tenleytown). From June-December, we are open from 8 am – 1 pm, and from December – March, we open at 9 am and close at 1 pm.

Established in 1972.
In 1976, Jim and Moie purchased the farm in PA. With ambitious, innovative financing and much trial and error, they gradually built their soils organically, collected appropriate equipment, and designed and built various buildings for their specific needs. From vending veggies out of the back of a pick-up truck to organizing and supervising three thriving weekly markets (and launching a fourth in late 2012), the Crawfords have built multi-faceted, successful direct-marketing system. Through the marketing (wholesale and retail) of various locally-produced foods like orchard fruits, cider, and baked goods, New Morning Farm is at the center of the PA-DC foodshed. New Morning Farm is equipped for year-round production with a heated greenhouse, four high-tunnels, and a packing shed with several refrigerated coolers at appropriate temps for vegetable and fruit storage. Our 400 free-range laying hens live in a house with access to fenced-in yard, where they enjoy pecking in the grass.
