WASHINGTON — DC Urban Greens is a nonprofit running urban farms in DC's food deserts to alleviate food insecurity.
Currently, it's doing seasonal crops and every week it has a fresh harvest and it buys fresh fruit.
The group runs two markets in Ward 7 and Ward 8 on Saturday's.

It grows all year round so it can distribute produce all year round.
Get Up DC wants to thank Easterns Automotive Group for partnering with us and sponsoring the segment.
In total, we've donated $1,000 to D.C. Urban Greens so they can increase accessibility of affordable health foods to residents living in DC's food desert neighborhoods.
