THE CAPITAL MARKET 

The Capital Market (TCM) is a community-based farmers’ market that provides healthy, affordable food options to our neighbors in the Capitol Heights and surrounding vicinity; supports the growth of local-businesses and farms owned and operated by people of color; advocates for equitable and culturally-aware food systems. Today, The Capital Market is a creative space where neighbors can connect with food in a culturally meaningful way, while learning about advocacy and community building.
