So far the lot has been cleared and the small building on site painted a bright green and yellow. When I spoke with the owner (a vegan), he said he was inspired by the lack of healthy food options in the neighborhood and plans to source his products from Maryland and Virginia farms.
Opening is projected for March 2010 when the next produce season begins.

Some great fresh local produce will be a great addition to the area!
Is he renting or buying the lot? Would love to convo w/him because Deanwood Heights Main Streets could attract him and others like him.
I'm pretty sure he is renting...
Banana stand! ...these do good simple breakfast business too, if he can have coffee and muffins/bagels ready to go.
If he wants to make bfast sandwiches, the new food vendor rules might make it easy for him.

Sounds like a fantastic addition to the neighborhood! Kudos to the owner--I hope he does well.
He should consult with the Capital Area Food Bank to gain a little insight on the Anacostia Farmers Market that used to run on Wednesdays - no longer there.
Getting support was always a struggle. Maybe things will be different in this type of setting.
