The POTUS' Farmers Market

I'm not holding my breath for this one but I sure do hope it comes to pass. Since they closed down Pennsylvania Ave in front of the White House after the Oklahoma City bombing the pedestrian area that was created is ideal for a farmers market.

From the Huffington Post...

At President Obama's interactive health care strategy meeting on Thursday, the President was asked about healthy eating.

"One of the things that we're trying to do now is to figure out, can we get a little farmers' market -- outside of the White House -- I'm not going to have all of you all just tromping around inside -- (laughter) -- but right outside the White House -- (laughter) -- so that -- so that we can -- and -- and -- and that is a win-win situation.

It gives suddenly D.C. more access to good, fresh food, but it also is this enormous potential revenue-maker for local farmers in the area. And -- and that -- those kinds of connections can be made all throughout the country, and -- and has to be part of how we think about health."

Bring it on!
