ABOUT EASTERN MARKET

Beginning as an open air Farmer’s Market in 1841 at Cadillac Square and by the 1850s had moved locations several times to the present day location. Eastern Market grew through the following decades, and additional sheds were constructed in 1922 and 1929.

The market presently covers 43 acres and is the largest historic public market district in the United States and the Eastern Market farmers’ distribution center is the largest open-air flowerbed market in the United States. The district hosts sellers of a wide variety of produce, meat, spices and other products.

Shed 3 was renovated in 2009 and the space there continues to grow to meet the needs of the community.  More about Eastern Market’s Rich History
